Rhythmic gymnastics, also called modern gymnastics or modern rhythmic gymnastics, the performance of systematic physical exercise with the aid of such hand apparatuses. Ribbon gymnastics is one example of this; it involves throwing the handle of the ribbon into the air and performing a series of turns and moves, before catching it in one fluid motion and continuing with the routine.

Using a motion-capturing program (i.e. fologram), we captured the movement of Jessica dancing and regenerated it into motion graphics of various ribbon movements.
