Feasibility study of scripting Indonesian traditional dance motion in XML format

Abstract

Indonesia is a great country with many cultural diversities, including traditional dances. With the increasing trend toward digitalization, the need to preserving these priceless treasures in digital format is unavoidable. The storing of dances in the form of video format seems inadequate since studying, comparing, and analyzing the video is cumbersome task. This paper discuses about the feasibility study of scripting the Indonesian traditional dances in XML format. Some studies related to these attempts are presented such as Indonesian traditional dances and current technological approach, the motion / gesture capture and recognition, and many more. The proposed approach of dance motion scripting and turn it into XML format seem promising.
