Abstract

Research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has gained interest in recent years and has fostered new ideas and expectations. There are many kinds of human motion capture methods nowadays. In this paper, we have compared 2 kinds of methods which are the most popular methods in HCI - Microsoft Kinect Sensor and Inertial Sensors. This paper presents a wearable real-time human motion capture system using inertial sensors, and result of our method has been compared with Microsoft Kinect Sensor. Several experiments have been performed to validate the effectiveness of our method.
