Project 103: DanceNavigator

Background and Motivation
The popularity of dancing has increased all over the world in last few years. Thanks to all those tv-shows, that have made for example ballroom dancing very popular in all age groups. Dancing is a good way to control weight and it is also a great fun to dance with other people and find new friends.
There are already some dance games for video game consoles, but there is no real dance game for mobile devices.
DanceNavigator is a dance game/dance school application for Apple iPhone. It will be developed with Jukka Haapalainen and Sirpa Suutari-Jääskö, multiple winners of international professional Latin dance competitions, who will be also teachers in dance videos and animations.

Project Goal
Project goal is to develop a dance game/dance school application that uses iPhones camera, motion capture and gps tracking features. By downloaded videos and animations user can learn the correct dance movements and steps.  With devices feedback  user can improve his/her skills and learn more of his/her favourite dances.
