About
Erik Asmussen is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of performing arts, technology, and embodied learning. His most influential contribution, the RoBallet project, explores how children can learn through expression by constructing and performing in a technologically immersive environment. In this setting, young dancers wear sensors and wireless microcontroller boards, allowing their movements to control digital media in real time. This work, which has garnered over a dozen citations, demonstrates how integrating dance choreography with interactive technology can foster deep, cross-disciplinary learning—blending computer science, engineering, and the arts. Asmussen’s research is notable for its early and creative vision of how wearable computing and sensor-based interaction can transform education, making abstract concepts tangible through physical performance. By designing environments where technology amplifies rather than replaces human expression, he has contributed a foundational model for embodied, arts-integrated STEM education. His work continues to inspire educators and technologists interested in how movement, play, and performance can unlock new pathways for learning.
