Artificial intelligence has made significant strides across various industries, and
the world of dance is no exception.
AI is not only empowering dancers and choreographers, but it's
also helping preserve the rich heritage of dance.
Watch the story for more details.
What you see on your screen is no A classical
Japanese dance drama known for its vibrant masks and elaborate
costumes, the No Theatre dates back to the 14th century.
However, due to Japan's shrinking population, problem takers of this
dance form have dipped over the years.
This is where technology comes into play.
Fujitsu, a tech company in Japan, is trying to revive
this classical dance form.
Fujitsu has developed a technology that uses AI and cameras
to analyze human movement.
Through the camera footage, our artificial intelligence analyzes body frames
so that we can capture the movements from different angles
of joints.
We then create a human CG model from the analysis,
which learners can take as their example.
This is our solution.
The aim is to help people better understand and experience
human movements.
This will help accelerate the learning process to grasp traditional
crafts and culture for younger generations.
Not just no theatre, Fujitsu systems are also being used
in sports in Japan.
The system has been employed as a tool for judging
gymnastics since 2019.
It has also been used in Pilates schools in Tokyo
since late August.
Fujitsu hopes it could apply its AI technology to more
fields in the future.
