Description

Teach the computer to mimic your movements and create routines based on saved dance moves.

General Requirements

• Visually show that the computer is following a user's lead
• The computer will be shown dance moves to store for playback
• Allow the computer to assemble its own routines based on the moves it has learned
• Give the computer a dance partner so that it can multi-task and coordinate dance routines

Breaking It Down

(As of January 2019)
​For this endeavor, I will need to break this down into several general subtasks:

1. ​Determine the camera and software that will track movement
2. Determine how movement will be tracked (via skeletal structure, wristabnds, etc)
3. Generate a user-friendly UI that allows users to select from options
   1. These options will include "View Saved Moves", "Create New Move", "Generate Routine", and "Free Style" ( a free-mimic option where nothing is recorded, just allows a user to play around)
4. Determine how a user will initialize their corresponding dancing animation
   1. Matching up with a skeletal frame, making gestures, lining up hands, etc.
5. Be able to record moves (most likely through recording coordinates)
   1. The amount of dance moves needs to be capped and a user may want to name them
6. Be able to use those moves in constructing routines
   1. Most likely randomized selection of moves
7. Determine how a dance partner will function within the program
   1. In-sync? Both randomized? Two-player mode?
