Abstract

After the release of SDK in 2011, Kinect developed for the motion recognition games has been applied not only in game but also in various fields such as science, education, and health care. It has some problems as belated responses to player's movements, a lot of noise in the recognized data, and an untraceable player when the body is partially occluded. Because of Kinect's such peculiarities of playing environment, most Kinect games require the inconvenience of Kinect's location or player's posture correction. In this paper, we propose an interface correction method that minimizes the requirements to be asked players, manages the exceptions such as noise, and enables to process consistently the player's movements in the game using Kinect. Also, we present the delay time to be considered to develop the game using Kinect through the experiment.

동작 인식 게임용으로 개발된 키넥트는 2011년 SDK가 공개되면서 게임뿐 아니라 과학, 교육, 의료 등 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 키넥트는 사용자 움직임에 대한 반응 속도가 늦고, 인식 데이터들에 노이즈가 많으며, 신체 일부분이 가려지면 추적할 수 없다는 문제점을 안고 있다. 이러한 플레이 환경의 특수성으로 대부분 게임에서는 키넥트 설치 위치나, 자세 교정과 같은 불편함을 요구한다. 본 연구에서는 키넥트를 이용한 게임에서 플레이어에 대한 요구 사항을 최소화하면서 노이즈와 같은 예외상황에 대처하고 일관된 동작 처리가 가능한 인터페이스 설계 방법을 제안하며, 실험을 통해 키넥트를 이용한 게임 개발 시 고려해야 할 지연 시간을 제시한다.
