This paper describes the integration of a full-body interactive system for its use in live coding performances. The system has an interactive mat of grid layout, which is located on the floor and serves as a guide for the user to move within its 17 areas in which it is divided. The body gestures made by the user are mapped to modify the execution o...

Uno de los retos en el campo de Human Computer Interaction (HCI) es proporcionar a las máquinas capacidades para sentir y expresar emociones mientras interactúan con los seres humanos. La mayoría de las investigaciones se centran en imitar la comunicación humano-humano por medio de gestos corporales y gestos faciales, transmitiendo una expresión, d...
