Kennesaw State and Georgia Tech researchers partner to combine dance and science

Researchers at Kennesaw State and Georgia Tech partnered to teach movement to artificial intelligence through improvisational dance, culminating with a first-of-its-kind performance:  artificial intelligence in the form of an avatar projected onto a screen improvising movement with human dance partners. 

The combination of both dance and science provides limitless discoveries, and with the advanced technology that we have today this combination can be explored in depth.
