Abstract

This paper proposes an interaction educational computer game framework that currently use hand gesture recognition to accomplish the interaction. The objective of the framework is to ease the game development so that developers can easily use it to produce educational computer games for end-users. By using the hand gesture, the game players (targeting preschool children) can have both body action and mind activity in synergy during playing games. Thus, they can have the better learning fruit and bodymind coordination development. In building the interaction educational computer game framework, this paper does the following three jobs. First, we primarily design and implement the interaction educational computer game framework. Second, we implement hand gesture recognition component using Microsoft KinectTM. Last, we study the principlesof designing hand gesture for the preschool childrenand we establish a primary version of hand gesture vocabularyaccording to the principles. In the experiments, we demonstrate that our method can successfully recognize the hand gestures in the vocabulary.
