Closely related to the gesture-based interface mapping discussed in Section 5.3, the conductor-style interface mapping of Sparacino's[22] DanceSpace also uses a form of predefined gesture language. Unlike the rigid gesture-language of NetSpace the conductor mapping results in a much more fluid interface. The system is designed to produce constructive, interesting results the user doesn't know the details of the mapping.
DanceSpace is an interactive performance space where both professional and non-professional dancers can generate music and graphics through their body movements (See Figure 5.5).
