COMPUTER SCIENCE COLLOQUIUM - Wednesday, October 6, 1982.
Mr. Baldev Singh of Schlumberger-Dahl Research,
Ridgefield, Conn., will speak on "A Graphics Editor
for Benesh Movement Notation."
TIME: 3:30 PM
ROOM: M&C 5158
ABSTRACT
Benesh Movement Notation is a two-dimensional system
for recording human movement in three dimensions of
space. It has been successfully used in the prepara-
tion of scores for a wide repertoire of dances. The
preparation and revision of Benesh scores is a
lengthy and error-prone process which computer graph-
ics and interactive editing techniques can greatly
facilitate. The aim is to make editing movement
scores as easy and convenient as editing text. The
design, implementation and user interface of a proto-
type editing system for Benesh notation will be dis-
cussed.
Coffee and refreshments will be served at 3:00 PM.
