Digital Twin Teacher

2025–

Digital Twin Teacher är ett pågående projekt som undersöker hur rörelsefångade data kan användas för att visualisera hantverk. Projektet skapar en visualisering av en sågning där tre upplevelselager möts: kroppens rörelse, ljudet och instrumentets – sågens – rörelse. Målet är att återgivningens digitala tvilling ska ge betraktaren en kroppslig förståelse för momentet som annars bara förmedlas av mästaren.

Digital Twin Teacher is a work in progress exploring how motion capture can visualize craft. The project creates a motion capture visualization of a sawing motion with a specific focus on three dimensions of the experience: body movement, sound, and the movement of the instrument (the saw). The digital twin of the motion is meant to convey, to a viewer, what otherwise only passes from hand to hand.

InfraVis logotype

The visualization is built as a digital twin of a bodily skill: the sawing motion is captured once and then re-presented through separate sensory channels, so that the movement of the body, the sound of the cut, and the path of the saw can each be attended to on its own terms.
