N1 - Funding Information:
All of this research was possible thanks to the kind support from the Foundation for Science and Technology and the Luso-American Foundation for the Development in Portugal for my PhD studies at NYU. I also want to thank Professor Peter Pabon from the Institute of Sonology in Hague for his keen advice on DSP techniques and guidance; Ali Taylan Cemgil for his critical input and valuable suggestions on certain approaches to take; Kirk Woolford for lending me his studio in order to perform the tests; and, last but not least, I want to thank to choreographer/dancer Susanne Ohmann for providing beautiful movement sequences for analysis.

N2 - In this paper, I present a possible approach for the control of musical tempo in real-time from dance movement. This is done through the processing of video analysis data from a USB web cam that is used to capture the movement sequences. The system presented here, consists of a library of Max externals that is currently under development. This set of Max externals processes video analysis data from other libraries and objects that already do this type of analyses in real-time in this programming environment such as Cyclops (Singer 2001) and softVNS2 (Rokeby 2002). The aim for the creation of such system is to enable dancers the control of musical tempo in real-time in interactive dance environments. In this session I will also do a short a demonstration of the performance of the objects created so far.
