Canvas Dance is a dance visualization for parties. The visualization takes the motion input from the users' smartphones and represents each of them with a sphere of lights that embodies a set of mappings: Vertical movements "marking the beat" make the lights blink, and swinging the hips to the side flashes colors on the same side of the sphere. These simple mappings provide users with a vocabulary of visual effects that they can combine and appropriate into their own dancing style, and when dancing with friends they can use them to coordinate their dance steps and create visual effects together.
