Abstract :
With the development of human-computer interaction technology, the multi-modal, natural interaction will become the primary way of interaction between human and computer. A supporting technology is that the computer must understand and capture the behavior characteristic of human, thus motion capture is proposed. Through motion capture technology, the computer can understand human action, and the user can send instructions and convey information to computer through the body, range, gestures and expressions. Therefore, the motion capture is one of the key technologies of new generation human-computer interaction. The current study of motion capture based on MEMS sensor is mainly for animation and film production, and the price is always very high. With sensor integration technology improve and sensor prices become low, there are some new system design needs. Based on pre-existing motion capture system, this paper tries to construct an inexpensive human motion capture system prototype using flexible architecture and distributed computing technology.
