LIVE SHOW TECH
Dolly's custom motion capture performance rig utilizes the following wearable hardware: Quantum Mocap Metagloves by Manus, Perception Neuron 3 by Noitom, and Twiddler 3 by Tek Gear.
Dolly is currently developing alongside Manus to expand the use case of Metagloves as a gestural audiovisual controller, integrating seamlessly with any applications utilizing MIDI and/or motion data formats.
In Dolly's show specifically, data from motion capture software is turned into an ever-expanding set of gestures which are ported to Ableton, Unreal Engine, and TouchDesigner via a custom Chataigne-based interface and purpose-built data adapting programs.
Learn more about Dolly's work as a gestural performance artist and technician in this interview with Roland.
