TALK AND PLAY FOR INTERACTIVE LEARNING PLAYGROUND
[TAP]
Our group will compare 3 motion detection devices to be used. First device is Kinect. Second is Leap Motion and the last one is Web camera. 3 motion detection devices are used for detecting skeletons or any object. However, There have limited to use in each device and difference to work. Therefore, we will compare all those devices which one is the best device to be used.
Kinect is a motion sensing input device by microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game console and Window PCs, which has RGB Camera , 3D Depth Sensors, Motorized Tilt , and Multi - Array Microphone

Kinect can recognize 6 people but detecting full body up to 2 people
-
Player must stand in the straight orientation and don’t be profile
1. Kinect
-
Kinect can see people standing from 0.8 to 4 meters away. Suggesting a practical range to detecting is 1.2 to 3.5 meters
Figure 1: Kinect can recognize 6 people and track two
Figure 2: Skeleton tracking is designed to recognise users facing the sensor
Figure 3: Kinect horizontal Field of View in default range
Figure 4: Kinect vertical Field of Veiw in default range
2. Leap Motion
Leap Motion is new technology detection device by Leap Motion,Inc. The Leap motion is used for detect and track hands ,fingers and finger - like tools. The device operates in an intimate proximity with high precision and tracking frame rate.

can detect approximately 25 to 600 millimeters above the device (1 inch to 2 feet).

difficult to detect skeleton in real time
After we compare all those devices, so we decided to use Kinect as current device. Because we want to detect whole body.Leap motion can't detect far distance and Leap motion is so difficult to detect skeleton in time. Therefore, Kinect is the best device to use and also Leap motion and Webcam are alternative devices too.
