| Research Abstract |
African dance is one of the original forms of dance and together with music, has been used in place of written forms of language as a means of communication. The rhythms and movements of African dance have had a major influence on the development of dance and music. Thus understanding of the folk dances have been passed down as tradition in Africa becomes essential to following the development of dance in modern Western societies.
I Objectives of research are 1. African Society of Today 2. Archive 3D information about human body motion of dance 3. Analyze dance motion data quantitatively and qualitatively by using information technologies.
II Main targets of research are 1. Dances of Nigeria : Kabulu, Bata, Maliki, Swange, Iri-Agha 2. Dances of Kenya : Gonda, Orutu, Borana, Sukuti, Samburu, Sengenya, Kikuyu.
III Processing of Motion Capture are 1. Set up of Video Cameras 2. Calibration 3. Put markers 4. Measurement & Recording 5. Data Correction and Editing.
IV Conclusions of research are 1. Verified characteristic of torso movement 2. Torso movement between expert dancer and skilled dancer and so on.
Our research helps African dancers and researchers on dance though giving new information on dance movement using motion capture.
