Collision Avatar (CA): Adding collision objects for human body in augmented reality using Kinect

The purpose of this study is the improvement of real and virtual world interaction in real-time by uses of Kinect. We propose adding geometric shapes as a collision object for human body parts in augmented reality with real-time animations. In this work the concept of collision Avatar (CA) is presented. We will describe different methods which creates geometric shapes, scale them according to body part sizes. Also we compare several types of real-time animations using different methods.
