Motion Capture Technology in Sports Science: 3D Virtual Sports Platform with Kinect
Journal Title: Spor Hekimliği Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 52, Issue 4
Abstract
Regular sports activity is considered to be beneficial for life quality and health. On the other hand, regular sporting opportunities are not widespread, especially in developing countries. It may be possible to provide an alternative solution for physical activity in the control of a virtual instructor, without being physically in the same place, thanks to the facilities provided by technologies such as Internet and Kinect. In this respect, the three dimensional virtual sports platform Kinect was designed and developed. The different features of the platform are described, and the advantages of new technology achievement and possibilities of alternative sports practice are given.
