In recent years, we have seen a proliferation of new technologies that have impacted the dance world in profound ways. These technologies include motion capture, virtual reality, and augmented reality. Motion capture allows dancers to create digital representations of their movements, which can then be used to create realistic animations or to control virtual characters. Virtual reality and augmented reality allow dancers to immerse themselves in virtual worlds and to interact with virtual objects and characters.

These new technologies are having a significant impact on the way that dance is created, performed, and experienced. They are opening up new possibilities for choreographers and dancers, and they are also changing the way that audiences experience dance.

This book explores the potential of these new technologies for dance. It features essays by leading scholars and artists in the field, who discuss the ways that technology is changing the dance world and the implications of these changes for the future of dance.
