(麻豆淫院Org.com) -- An in-depth analysis of a ballet dancer鈥檚 movements could hold the answer to how we distinguish whether someone has grace and beauty, Queen Mary, University of London researchers suggest.

A team of scientists from Queen Mary鈥檚 School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) worked with renowned Italian ballet dancer Roberto Bolle to capture his movements using a variety of new technologies.

They were able to create a digital pixilated formation of Bolle using 3D body scanning, motion capture and digital conversions with the aim of studying the body in new ways.

鈥淲e know that people are sensitive to changes in human movements at the millimeter and millisecond level,鈥� said Pat Healey, Professor of Human Interaction and lead for the Interaction, Media and Communication Research Group at Queen Mary.

鈥淢otion capture technologies make it possible, for the first time, to analyse human movements in full 3D at very high resolutions. Modeling human movements at this unprecedented level of detail can help us to understand what affects people's perceptions of grace and beauty."

The project, Dancing Atoms, was conducted at Queen Mary鈥檚 Pinter Studio where scientists converted Bolle into a digital copy. One million digital pieces of his body were created to form a full 3D, 360 degree copy. The body scanner mapped Bolle鈥檚 co-ordinates to replicate both his shape and colour.

Adam Pruden, project lead and research fellow with MIT鈥檚 SENSEable City Lab, said: 鈥淲hat better way to study the body than through the spatial mapping of a ballet dancer?

鈥淕reater analysis and understanding of our bodies in space is necessary as technology becomes more integrated into the building infrastructure, and as we increasingly use our bodies as an input to control objects around us.鈥�

Bolle wore a black bodysuit with reflective markers on his body which allowed Queen Mary鈥檚 Vicon motion capture system to record his movement through space.

Stuart Battersby, PhD student in Human Interaction at Queen Mary, University of London, said: 鈥淲hen we motion captured Roberto, our system consolidated all the 2D images from each infra-red camera in our 12 camera array, allowing us to know the precise 3D coordinates of each reflective marker on Roberto's body in the 3D space.

鈥淭his gave us the precise X, Y and Z coordinates for the 42 markers on his body, recorded 120 times a second.鈥�

Director of SENSEable, Professor Carlo Ratti, said: 鈥淭hink about the 鈥榃onka vision鈥� scene from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory where the boy is photographed by a giant camera and split-up into millions of tiny pieces, before whizzing through the air.

鈥淲e see Dancing Atoms as a project where we can start to manipulate these millions of tiny pieces by controlling each bit as if it were a digital atom.鈥�

In creating a digital copy of Bolle, the scientists hope the analysis will lead to a greater understanding of the key aspects of the human body鈥檚 movement capabilities and how they relate to people鈥檚 perceptions of grace and beauty.
