EigenTricks

OUR PURPOSE

For fire arts performers, understanding the diversity of content within their performances is crucial for a successful performance. After calibrating the props and recording a performance, our practice props provide immediate feedback to the performer on the composition and content of their performance, allowing them to improve their performances.

TRICK ANALYSIS

FUTURE STEPS

At the conclusion of this project, we were able to correctly identify tricks in isolation given a calibration dataset. This project was a proof-of-concept that having data-collecting practice props could yield useful results, and based on our successes we thought of some other interesting uses of this data. Some of the other possible extensions to this product could include:

• Increasing the accuracy of trick identification during performances
• Having a summary metrics virtual dashboard on either a website or a phone app for performers
• Automated data annotations for a visual of how long each trick was performed
• Visualizing the path of props to gauge alignment with desired paths
• Using an accelerometer on each practice poi for tricks with a different motion for each poi
