논문 해외 국제전문학술지(SCI급) Motion Generation and Analyzing the User’s Arm Muscles via Leap Motion and Its Data-Driven Representations

Two-handed juggling in a virtual environment with our method (inset image : user motion)

논문 초록 (Abstract)

In this study, we introduce a novel framework for practicing and analyzing arm muscles in motions, such as juggling actions, by estimating the hand motion of the user using a Leap Motion device. The proposed method can map the movement of a ball in a virtual world to the hand motion of the user in real time and visualize the relaxation and contraction of muscles to determine the amount of exercise performed. Our procedure has four sections: 1) The Leap Motion device tracks the hand position of the user. 2) A behavioral pattern in which a user throws a ball is defined as an event. 3) The hand motion is mapped to the ball based on the hand position of the user using the proposed parabola-based particle approach. 4) The quantity of muscle activity is visualized and analyzed in relation to the degree of arm bending. Consequently, the proposed system enables real-time juggling in a virtual environment as well as practice and analysis of the arm muscle activity of the user. The outcomes of the analyses are expected to be applied in various industries, including healthcare.
