I'd love to know what this is about! Unfortunately the course was last year...
It's somewhere in your country.
I know, just not more than that.
I'll give it a try to find out when more time.

"we designed and evaluated an interactive dance learning system that allows a person to learn Guidance and Rhythm skills through a virtual reality Salsa dance environment containing a virtual partner with hand to hand interaction."
Robots dance on2, I notice.
He comes with this at the right time (Covid). Maybe this is normal for learning in some decades, like watching Youtube videos now is.
University of Geneva, it says in the upper left. I read Fred Dancefloor comes from there, too.

Yes, it's Geneva. And you're right, it might be something for the future - thinking about it for any body-related 3d activity this might be something, specially combined with virtual reality.
I miss the good old times...

Already five years ago a friend brought his mobile phone with VR glasses and I had a test for two minutes. I found it frightning, especially taking it off again. The graphics were still decent, but it was obvious this can become a perfect drug where you can get lost and addicted. I will avoid it like heroin. Sure it has a big market in the future.
Talking about not so far away Geneva - does it have a good Salsa scene?
I can't wait to hear about the virtual social dance rejection stories.
Two of Geneva dancers are used as an input for model visible in the video. From what I've seen from party videos, there are more.
Jokes aside this appears like a serious work. It is an approach that can have significant applications in real world unrelated to dancing.
If I had to teach two robots how to dance with each other or one robot how to dance with a human, this would be one of the approach. They are extracting core principles from how the humans move and categorizing them in a system they designed. Then they are applying one particular type of machine learning algorithm to glean how humans combined those elements to create a dance. It is similar to creating AI for self driving car.
What surprised me a bit is that they are also using it to train people to dance salsa. I can't visualize how are they doing that. Do they use some kind of immersive experience generating equipment.
There is a lot of value in being able to transpose and make a robot (whether physical or one operating as a virtual representation) dance like human. I am not sure about replacing a partner to teach a human being to dance salsa.

So finally will they outperform us leads, the same as Chess and Go computers nowadays do?
At least regarding amount of patterns they will be unbeatable... Then we will all switch to BS because rumours will be that robots are not so good in sensual
Oh, I'm in the German part of Switzerland - unfortunately don't know much about Geneva's scene.
I would guess not too big now. There used to be a huge club right across the border in France that was frequented by Geneva's scene, but already when I was there it had passed its best days..
However, better ask somebody who knows.. Since Covid my dancing is really reduced. Slowly ready to restart though.
There is potential for new threads!
How to get a bot to dance with you all night, etc...
Just made a little experiment and went to a site with a bot. Here is our conversation:
Hello
Hello
Would you like to dance with me?
Sure.
Do you dance on 1 or on 2?
It's so good!
Do you dance linear?
And it cut the conversation, letting me know I can go on chatting if I link my account.
This technology is really still too primitive for my dancing.

Oh I have "global favorites" too
Split into salsa and Cha Cha because there are some marked differences
: They weren't very good at connecting.
: What did they say?
: I don't know, they just stared at me without saying anything,was creepy. Then suddenly they responded; seemed out of it. Maybe they just didn't want to dance with me.
: I couldn't dance with them; they were on an Apple so our language wasn't compatible.
Great! Do you dance PC or Mac-powered?
All together slowly we would have to hand out formularies to fill out before dancing.
From vaccine status, on 1 or on 2, linear or casinos to software questions.
Together with the above it seems a legit soundtrack having lyrics about metaphysics or similar!
