Abstract:
This paper presents a novel use of sensor sytem for human gait recognition evolution to be employed in virtual environments exploration. The system allows free human motion inside a virtual environment employing human gait recognition. Experimental sessions have been organized in order to acquire acceleration data related to walking and running of several subjects. We present an algorithm that recognizes a person gait in real-time. The recognized motion can be used to enhance the presence of the user in the virtual environment. A simple scenario has been developed to assess the system functionality. The experiments carried out show that our system is suitable to classify human motion, count steps and, moreover, can be used both in virtual and augmented reality (VR) environments for an improved interaction.
