Hand motion tracking and gesture recognition are of crucial interest to the development of virtual reality systems and controllers. In this paper, a wireless data glove that can accurately sense hands’ dynamic movements and gestures of different modes was proposed. This data glove was custom-built, consisting of flex and inertial sensors, and a microcontroller with multi-channel ADC (analog to digital converter). For the classification algorithm, a hierarchical gesture system using Naïve Bayes Classifier was built. This low training time recognition algorithm allows categorization of all input signals, such as clicking, pointing, dragging, rotating and switching functions when performing computer control. This glove provided a more intuitive way to operate with human-computer interface. Some preliminary experimental results were presented in this paper. The data glove was also operated as a controller in a First-Person Shooter (FPS) game to perform the usability of the proposed glove.

Motion capture systems play an important role in health-care and sport-training systems. In particular, there exists a great demand on a mobile motion capture system that enables people to monitor their health condition and to practice sport postures anywhere at any time. The motion capture systems with infrared or vision cameras, however, require a special setting, which hinders their application to a mobile system. In this paper, a mobile three-dimensional motion capture system is developed based on inertial sensors and smart shoes. Sensor signals are measured and processed by a mobile computer; thus, the proposed system enables the analysis and diagnosis of postures during outdoor sports, as well as indoor activities. The measured signals are transformed into quaternion to avoid the Gimbal lock effect. In order to improve the precision of the proposed motion capture system in an open and outdoor space, a frequency-adaptive sensor fusion method and a kinematic model are utilized to construct the whole body motion in real-time. The reference point is continuously updated by smart shoes that measure the ground reaction forces.

This study examined interactions between inertial sensor (IS) performance and physical task demand on posture kinematics in a two-handed force exertion task. Fifteen male individuals participated in a laboratory experiment that involved exerting a two-handed isometric horizontal force on an instrumented height-adjustable handle. Physical task demand was operationalized by manipulating vertical handle height, target force magnitude, and force direction. These factors were hypothesized to influence average estimates of torso flexion angle measured using inertial sensors and an optical motion capture (MC) system, as well as the root mean squared errors (RMSE) between instrumentation computed over a 3s interval of the force exertion task. Results indicate that lower handle heights and higher target force levels were associated with increased torso and pelvic flexion in both, push and pull exertions. Torso flexion angle estimates obtained from IS and MC did not differ significantly. However, RMSE increased with target force intensity suggesting potential interactive effects between measurement error and physical task demand.
