From the 28th to the 31th of May of 2013 took place the Puppit Lab at Montemor-o-novo Marionette Festival.

Lab-Puppit is a digital puppetry workshop.
We share our research methodology for building and rigging virtual marionettes and explore manipulation techniques.
The video shows the result performance from the 4 days workshop, which was presented at the 6th Montemor-o-novo Marionette Festival.
In this performance the participants performed with two puppets using body motion captured by two Microsoft Kinects; two WIImotes were mapped to two flying buttons (props); an iPad and an iPhone were used to control the face expression of the puppets and to control scene events.
Performers: Bruno, Isa, Ricardo, Nuno

Live Music (not the music in the video): Ricardo, Grifu
Voice (not in the video): Sónia
