DanceDB now in the AMASS database

08 May 2021

Our dance motion capture database (DanceDB), that consists of data with professional dancers, has been released by the AMASS database in SMPL body model parameters. Now you can teach your machine learning model to dance. Thanks a lot to the team of Perceiving Systems, and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems.

Visit our new Cyprus 3D Reptiles!

29 Mar 2021

Visit our new Cyprus 3D reptiles website. This is a joint project with Terra Cypria, and the ultimate target is to develop a publicly accessible repository of accurate animated 3D models of Cyprus reptiles, including tangible aspects of the reptilia on the island, e.g., shape, colour, dimensions, postures, but also intangible aspects e.g., movements, gestures and signals.

Visit our new Virtual Dance Museum!

01 Feb 2021

Dive into the history of dancing using our public digital of traditional dances captured for a unique 3d experience. Interact with high quality motion 3d data of expert dancers, captured by state-of-the-art motion capture technologies, and watch rare video material held by local cultural institutions!
