Virtual K-Pop Dance Teacher to Make Dance Learning Easier

Caption

Daijin Kim and his team at POSTECH, South Korea, have developed a virtual dance teacher that can make learning famous K-Pop dances easier at home by precisely tracking 3D body joints. They successfully developed the precise 3D tracking of 15 human body joints using big data of the human body and the relational information among human body joints and its tracking performance showed a 4.5 cm error on average among 15 human body joints.
