Dance Dance Immolation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dance Dance Immolation (DDI) is an interactive game by fire art troupe Interpretive Arson.

The game utilizes a heavilly customized build of StepMania. The "immolation" aspect of DDI comes in the form of fire of blasted at the player if they perform poorly.

Participants are not harmed since they wear a full aluminized fire proximity suit with forced-air respirators. Numerous other safeguards are built into the system to ensure the players are not subject to direct flame exposure or inhalation of superheated air.
