Diva is an interactive audio-visual installation at the Finnish National Opera and Ballet in Helsinki. It's part of CircOpera, an annual exploration of new technologies and innovative ways of creating opera. Diva acts as the avatar host for the event, and in addition to tablet interactions, there was also a ten minute ambisonic experience.
As a member of Violet Disruption Project, my role was to clean up body mocap data. This involved deleting any artefacts and ensuring that the movement between keyframes appeared natural and realistic.
