- The last decades the development of whole-body interaction technologies, as well as XR (Extended Reality) technologies, including Augmented, Mixed and Virtual Reality, created a strong potential for embodied and immersive experiences to support learning and the use of notation while moving. In our ongoing work, we explore this potential on the user case of familiarizing dance experts and amateurs with movement notation in general and Labanotation in particular. By applying methodologies of usercentered design, including co-design workshops with notation and dance experts, interviews, focus-groups, questionnaires supporting the iterative design of our prototype, we focus on how we can meaningfully transfer the concepts related to space from notation to full body interaction instructions. So far we have developed two prototypes following two paradigms: a. the augmented mirror paradigm using Kinect and b. the immersive paradigm using HTCVive, that we have used as technology probes to interact with dance experts in the context of our co-design work. We reflect on this experimentation and we document the emerging challenges of transferring a symbolic language that is meant to be transmitted through paper, into spatial semantic queues. We discuss the challenges that arise between the gaps of symbolically referring to space, within a rich conceptual framework, such as Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), experiencing space kinaesthetically, and transferring these into a digital experience, always within the limitations of the current technologies.
