Louis Kratz, Matthew J. Smith, Frank J. Lee · 2007
Gesture based input is an emerging technology gaining widespread popularity in interactive entertainment. The use of gestures provides intuitive and natural input mechanics for games, presenting an easy to learn yet richly immersive experience. In Wiizards, we explore the use of 3D accelerometer gestures in a multiplayer, zero sum game. Hidden Markov models are constructed for gesture recognition, providing increased flexibility and fluid tolerance. Users can strategically effect the outcome via combinations of gestures with limitless scalability.
