Abstract :
In this paper we describe a prototype system which is capable of calculating the head, torso, and fore-arm orientation of multiple participants in real time. These orientations are derived from data provided by a motion capture system. Having this data available in real time opens the possibility for a number of new experimental and practical applications. We describe one initial application of this technology which allows pairs of participants to simultaneously draw on a digital whiteboard using forearm orientation.
