Unencumbered Human Movement in Interactive Immersive Environments
16/12/09 10:53
I have recently revised my PhD thesis from 2002 and published it in it’s entirety on Lulu.com
My reasons for doing this is that the summaries cover a lot of what was the state of the art in 1995-2000 for interactive systems for performance and fort sensing of human movement. The book acts as an historical overview and as such is a worthwhile contribution to the historical literature and it cites a good deal of work that was current at the time, providing in a single document the links that have led to some of todays technologies and approaches.
At the time this research was undertaken, video tracking of human movement was limited and required expensive outboard equipment. I purchased a hardware version of David Rokeby’s Very Nervous System at this time for US$2200, now replaced by the SoftVNS.
If you are interested in looking at the book or purchasing it - it is available here
