Doctoral Colloquium—ME++ Data Ethics of Biometrics Through Ballet and AR

This Doctoral Colloquium explores data ethics and biometric data through the development of an augmented reality (AR) classical ballet experience. This paper focuses on two areas: (i) The development and use of tool sets for motion capture and video extraction. (ii) On dancers’ understanding and experiences of the ‘body as a data artefact’ for the creation of motion graphic (3D rigged) characters of an AR experience. Questions: (1) Is there a difference in sense of self (identity) between the human and the virtual? (2) How does sharing your personal biometric data make you feel? (3) How can biometric and immersive development tools be used in the computing classroom and dance studios to raise awareness of data ethics?
