Acknowledgements I am grateful for the continuous support of my Director of Studies Dr Joseph Hyde at Bath Spa University who not only continuously reviewed my writings but also has been a big support in organizing the practical part of the PhD. Thanks to my second supervisor Dr Andy Keep at Bath Spa University who inspired me to design the graphics of the 3DIM implementation charts, and for his general support during the proof-reading of the final writing of this thesis. I am also very grateful to the dedication of my external advisor Dr Sher Doruff in Amsterdam who has always given useful feedback, suggestions and the needed positive vibrations for the practical research. I would in particular like to thank my external advisor Prof. Sarah Rubidge from the University of Chichester for being a tremendous support since the start of my interactive career, during our collaborative research and work enterprises, and for being the advisory guide on the long road of this PhD research. I am much obliged to Dr Cliff Randell, senior fellow at the University of Bristol, one of the inventors of the applied Low Cost Indoor Positioning system. I am tremendously grateful for his support in supplying and adjusting the system and his presence during the long days of the practical research. Special thanks to Dr Anne Nigten and Marc Boon from V2 lab in the Netherlands, and to Paul Gillieron from PGAcoustic and Surround AV in London who collaboratively developed and supplied the prototype of the Cricket tracking system used at the early stages of my research. The practical methodology for this research would not have been possible without the commitment and collaboration of all dancers involved. I am much obliged to the following dancers for the exchange of ideas and participation in one or more case studies, practical research experimentations and/or presentations: Abi Mortimer, Carrie Whitaker and Guy Adams of Lila Dance Company and independent dance artists Esther Lewis-Smith, Sasha Spasic and Yuyu Rau. Additional thanks to the Head of Dance Chris Lewis-Smith and studio technician Jon Savage at Bath Spa University for their support and Mark Coniglio and Dawn Stoppiello from Troikaranch for their advice. Last, but not least, I am grateful to my friends and family - especially Ans Bergsma and my beloved mother – for their patience throughout this study. |
