Body as a source and a carrier of information and emotion
Vacke, Ondřej ; PACEK, Martin (advisor) ; KORČÁK, Jakub (referee)
In my diploma thesis I will explore the body language of actors in detail and describe my own practical experience. Most of my experiences come from performance training, which I have gained whilst attending The Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (DAMU). In the first part I describe physical movement in the early days of theater. Then I focus on analysing the concepts of nonverbal communication and its usage on the stage. I explore various different performance spaces and analyze their influence on the subsequent differences in physical acting-expressionism. The aim of my thesis is to explain how we can use our bodies during the process of preparing for performance and what can affect it. The benefit of this approach is the subsequent self-reflection, which forced me to deeply develop the basic techniques of physical communication. To be specific, the physical movements which lead to the transmission of emotion, feelings and information to the viewer.

The relation between text and actor´s gesture,
Vaverka, Josef ; SALZMANNOVÁ, Eva (advisor) ; KUDLÁČKOVÁ, Jana (referee)
During my studies at the Academy of Performing Arts, I studied ancient Greek drama, commedia dell'arte, Shakespearean drama, comedy farce, absurd drama and contemporary English plays. In my master´s thesis I concentrate on the relationship between the text and actor's gestures. I gathered all the historical facts from these books: O. G. Brockett, History of Theatre and Jaromir Kazda Chapters from theater history, unless otherwise stated.

The Painterly Gesture
Hon, Michael ; Dub,, Petr (referee) ; Houser, Milan (advisor)
Diploma thesis called Brush stroke demonstrates technique of materialization brush strokes in an open space. Center thought of the project is application of a specific technology, when color or another material is not applied on surface by brush, but pressed through surface. It is important, that gesture of painting act remains in the color matter. Project works with reflection of painting as an artistic medium, highlighting visual and haptic elements of the result. Thesis is based on invention of technique, it's demonstration and presentation in form of an exhibition.

Web Browser Control Using Gestures
Němeček, Jiří ; Zahrádka, Jiří (referee) ; Najman, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis describes web browser control possibilities using touchless gestures captured over Microsoft Kinect sensor. It presents gesture reading and analyzing procedures for further processing. Particular aspects of design and implementation of the sample application are also shown here. Final part consits of application usability testing summary and describes possibilities of its further deployment.

Kinect-Based Desktop Controller
Czompál, Zsolt ; Široký, Vít (referee) ; Žák, Pavel (advisor)
The aim of this master's thesis was to create a user interface that allows controlling the PC using voice commands, static poses and dynamic gestures. It contains an implementation of a natural user interface that emulates the functionality of the keyboard and the mouse. In this thesis for detecting and tracking the user was used the sensor Kinect. For implementation I have chosen platform Windows and the Kinect for Windows SDK with programming language C#. During the implementation and testing of the interface, sensor Kinect for Xbox 360 was used. The result of this master's thesis is a natural user interface that allows controlling desktop applications without using keyboard or mouse, and that is comfortable and user-friendly.

Depth-Based User Interface
Kubica, Peter ; Beran, Vítězslav (referee) ; Žák, Pavel (advisor)
Conventional user interfaces are not always the most appropriate option of application controlling. The objective of this work is to study the issue of Kinect sensor data processing and to analyze the possibilities of application controlling through depth sensors. And consequently, using obtained knowledge, to design a user interface for working with multimedia content, which uses Kinect sensor for interaction with the user.

Absence
Machač, Petr ; Marenčík, Michal (referee) ; Zet, Martin (advisor)
Video Absence reflects the findings of theoretical thesis named Boredom. The basic situation is described as lack of meaning, will, interest and feeling. Video is an attempt at poetic reflection of such situation, which is characterised as aimless searching without finding. The main tools are empty hands and different kinds of ground. The void has been overcome through the gesture related to problem of gift.

Using virtual reality in design process
Hlavatý, Michal ; Novotný, Tomáš (referee) ; Augste, Jan (advisor)
Master thesis deals with the possibility of using virtual reality in the construction process and points to new possibilities for non-traditional controlling of devices. The aim of this thesis is to become familiar with equipment designed in ÚVSSR and technology using motion capturing. Subsequently, there is also aim to use the gained knowledge to design a software which uses virtual reality in the construction process of parallel kinematic structure delta type, which will have the option of touchless control and will analyze the progress of energy flow of devices.

The Personal Motif
Vlčková, Tamara ; Zálešák, Jan (referee) ; Rathouský, Luděk (advisor)
In my bachelor work I focus on intimate communication. I am interested in the moment of detection and in a simple question: What makes sense? I'm interested in everyday situations and in a human body, which I display in different social situations and personal dialogue - with the audience, work, and man. The main motives of my drawings are personal stories that remind familiar stories, and transmit such information, which audience accepts and transforms in its own way. Important is a constellation of people and things, and also attitude, a gesture that creates the story. I mix reality, dreams, ideas, and questions - choosing aspects I tend to think about, that touch my feelings or that I fear. Equally important is the installation, where a personal space for watching drawings will be kept.
