Dance on Camera at Tufts University: Augmented Reality at the Screening

Augmented Reality at the Screening

Augmented reality was practically unavoidable at the dance on camera screening we hosted. In addition to hanging up some of the promotional materials we made which doubled as AR triggers, we also set up an exhibit entirely dedicated to showcasing student work through AR. Plus, every image in our program was an AR trigger. We made sure to have our students bring their iPads so that they could show people how it worked as they were arriving before directing them to our exhibit up on the balcony for more.

If you haven't already, be sure to download the dancetechAR app on your smart device so that you can scan all of our trigger images (program included) after the jump!

The trigger images in our AR exhibit were actually drawings created in Marlon's class and they all link to a video shot by the artist on our trip to NYC (the exception to this being Jaclyn's drawing which instead triggers our screening promo video).

And then here are the images found in the program. As you can see in the above video, they all serve as trigger images as well, but feel free to try scanning them yourself!

Dance on Camera

Dance on Camera is a Tufts University course designed for any dancer, artist, or student interested in film and video production with dance or movement as a medium. Through storyboarding, shooting, editing, choreographing, and directing, students will learn basic video production techniques and advanced camera work.

The Spring 2015 version of the course is being supported by a Tufts Innovates! grant, which will aid us in our goal of creating two professional level projects for submission into various national and international film festivals by providing us with the resources to purchase high-quality digital cameras and other video-making equipment, to take a class trip to NYC for the 2015 Dance on Camera Film Festival, to organize an on-campus dancefilm screening, to learn from guest artists in the field of videodance, and more.

This semester, the course is being taught by Jaclyn Waguespack with assistance from Cassie Burns.

Dance at Tufts

At Tufts, dance is a well-established and vibrant part of the academic, cultural, and community life on campus that includes the Dance Program in the Department of Drama and Dance, and the many and varied extracurricular student dance groups across the university.

The dance program exposes students to the rich history of the discipline and current practices in the field within a fully integrated vision for liberal arts education. Students access the program as new-to-dance practitioners; as members of cultural arts studies programs; or as committed dancers in the field. All have the option of working toward Minor Degrees in Dance. For students who enter the program with advanced training, we offer the opportunity to study dance within the context of a liberal arts program (differing in its focus from more technically-oriented conservatory programs). While we do offer a number of advanced technique course options, our program focuses on creative process, modern dance, and non-western dance forms, all of which involve a balance of both experientially and academically rigorous course work.
