In this research, a chair type game controller has been developed. We implement pressure sensors on a chair so that user's whole body movements can be signalized. The signals linked to a game system. This process occurs a meaningful exercise effect. Because users can play exergame setting on the chair type game controller, it is reduces risk of physical injury such as falling down and the Joint pressure compared existing exergame controllers. Based on the advantages of seating, elderly and obese can be provided appropriate exergame.

Recently there has been growing popularity in exergame, such as Wii Sport or Xbox Fitness game, which enables users to get physical exercise while playing the games. In such experienced exercise games, the user's posture recognition is very important to find out exactly how much the users need to take their body posture as compared to the proper posture. This paper proposes a new exercise posture recognition model designed for the exercise game content for the elderly. The proposed model is based on extracting feature points of a skeleton model provided by the Kinect sensor to generate the feature vectors to recognize the user's exercise posture information. This paper describes the design and implementation of the exercise posture recognition model and demonstrates the feasibility of this proposed posture recognition model through a simple experiment. The experimental results showed 94.52% of average accordance rate for 12 exercise postures of 10 participants.
