The concept of Electronic Traces is based on capturing dance movements and transforming them into visual sensations through the use of new technologies. To do this, designer Lesia Trubat González focused on the ballet shoes herself, which through the contact with the ground, and thanks to Lilypad Arduino technology, record the pressure and movement of the dancer’s feet and send a signal to an electronic device. A special application will then show this data graphically and even customize it to suit each user, through the different functions of this app.
The user can then view all the moves made in video format, extract images and even print them. Dancers can interpret their own movements and correct them or compare them with the movements of other dancers, as graphs created with motion may be the same or different depending on the type of movements executed and the correction of the steps and body position.
This is a project that can be extrapolated to other dance disciplines and the applications are multiple, from self- learning or dance classes to the graphical representation of live performance.
