Body motion design and analysis for fighting game interface

Abstract

This paper presents a full-body motion-control game interface based on a Kinect device. A set of postures and motions for controlling game characters is presented, and the posture-detection algorithm for each posture is implemented by using a rule-based technique with rule-and-threshold optimization. Our experiments show that the proposed optimization can improve the accuracy of posture detection by 13.70%. The proposed techniques are applied to the fighting game called FightingICE, a game platform in recent CIG competitions.
