In the last decade, an increasing number of techniques have been developed to reproduce high dynamic range imagery on traditional displays. These techniques, known as Tone Mapping Operators (TMOs), have been compared and ranked in different ways according to several image characteristics. However, none of these algorithms has been developed specifically for small screen devices (SSD). In this paper, we present an evaluation of currently used TMOs to show that SSDs with limited size, resolution and colour depth require specific research to find or create an appropriate solution. The research described in this paper is based on psychophysical experiments; using three different types of displays (CRT, LCD and SSD). The obtained results show that rankings obtained are similar for the LCD and CRT but are significantly different for the SSD. Furthermore, these rankings show additionally that some characteristics of TMOs need to be emphasized to obtain better high-fidelity mapped images for SSDs.

NUVE is an artistic project that aims to explore the artistic possibilities offered by the digital dance performances in the interaction between the individual and his virtual double. In NUVE we conceptualized, developed and implemented a digital artifact, resulting in a fluid digital performance based on the theme of the analog body versus the digital virtual body.

The project presented here aims to explore the artistic possibilities offered by digital performances in real time, in the form of dance, which is regarded as a privileged form of body language in the interaction between the performer and a digital artifact, interaction that establishes itself as the driving element of the whole scenic narrative. To research the aforementioned possibilities, a digital artifact, named NUVE, was conceptualized, developed, and implemented for the purpose of creating a dance performance where a performer will interact with the system, resulting in a fluid digital performance, based on the theme of the analog body versus the digital/virtual body, that will be exhibited in public.
