Implicit collaboration with a drawing machine through dance movements
Abstract: In this demonstration, we exhibit the initial results of an ongoing body of exploratory work, investigating the potential for creative machines to communicate and collaborate with people through movement as a form of implicit interaction. The paper describes a Wizard-of-Oz demo, where a hidden wizard controls an AxiDraw drawing robot while a participant collaborates with it to draw a custom postcard. This demonstration aims to gather perspectives from the computational fabrication community regarding how practitioners of fabrication with machines experience interacting with a mixed-initiative collaborative machine.
