KinectBalls: An Interactive Tool for Ball Throwing Games
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a tool that was developed in the context of the first author’s masters project. The tool implements an interactive computer game combining the real and the virtual world in a seamless way. The player interacts with the game by throwing balls towards a wall on which a virtual 3D scene is projected. Using the Kinect 3D sensor, we compute and predict the trajectory, speed and position of the ball. Upon impact with the screen, a virtual ball continues its trajectory in the virtual scene, and interacts with the objects around it using a physical and a graphical 3D engine Bullet, and Ogre3D. The prototype game has been successfully tested on a large number of people of varying ages.

متن کاملWhere Are You Throwing the Ball? I Better Watch Your Body, Not Just Your Arm!
The ability to intercept or avoid a moving object, whether to catch a ball, snatch one's prey, or avoid the path of a predator, is a skill that has been acquired throughout evolution by many species in the animal kingdom. This requires processing early visual cues in order to program anticipatory motor responses tuned to the forthcoming event. Here, we explore the nature of the early kinematics...

متن کاملQuantitative analysis of kinematics and kinetics of catchers throwing to second base.
The catcher has the most demanding position in the games of baseball and softball with no regulations on how many throws they make during game. It was the purpose of this study to describe the kinematics and kinetics of the throwing motion in catchers when throwing down to second base. It was hypothesised that younger and older catchers would display significantly different throwing kinematics ...

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the differences between novice and skilled baseball players to anticipate the type of ball being pitched and to specify the players’ dependence on distributed or local kinematic spatial cues. Male baseball players (N= 15; Mage: 27.73 ± 6.28 years; baseball experience: 7.90 ± 5.69 years) and novices (N= 15; Mage: 23.10 ± 5.68 years; no playing exp...
