PETRA:People for the Ethical Treatment of Robotic Animals
messengerThe possibility of robot abuse is actually being taken quite seriously. Psychologists are studying it. Governments are drafting laws about it.

Pixel
ChaosEngineI see no reason it couldn't be done right now.
Once you have the dancers position the rendering is pretty trivial.
Getting the dancers position with a Kinect is certainly doable... I'm not sure how well the Kinect would cope with multiple people in that lighting environment, but you could certainly rig the dancers with invisible IR emitters and track that.
It's simply a matter of cost.
edit: technical info on how it was actually done
http://vezerapp.hu/blog/project-showcase-pixel/
When will this tech progress enough that they can render the effects in real time, using something like Xbox motion tracking to keep track of the dancers/props and have them actually effect the projections in real time, rather than projecting a pre-rendered 'movie' that they try to keep pace with and their place in? It would erase all the lag created when the dancers are 1/4 second off, or 3 inches out of place. That would go a long way towards creating suspension of disbelief for many, and sharpen up the performance immensely. Then we can have things like the bioluminescent forest done on stage with moving objects...like Avatar in theater form.
I love what they do with it, I just want to see it progress...and fast!
