Developing Empathy for People with Bipolar Disorder Through Interactive Performance

Misplaced Euphoria is an interactive performance that consists of expressive movement, expressive gesture recognition, and interactive visualization that aims to develop empathy for people with bipolar disorder. This project explored the characteristics of those with bipolar disorder through the mediums of dance and interactive visualization driven by machine learning. To develop an interactive performance, we conducted an interview with a person to gather information and use the in- sights collected from the interview processes as a base for our creative process. We used a support vector machine (SVM) to recognise the dancers expression and gestures recognition results were visualised through the Rutt-Etra algorithm on a real-time basis.
