Abstract

In this paper, we present a motion-driven rowing simulation framework that allows multiple players to row a boat together by their harmonized movements. In the actual rowing game, it is crucial for the players to synchronize their rowing with respect to time and pose so as to accelerate the boat. Inspired by this interesting feature, we measure the motion similarity among multiple players in real time while they are doing rowing motions and use it to control the velocity of the boat in a virtual environment. We also employ game components such as catching an item which can accelerate or decelerate the boat depending on its type for a moment once it has been obtained by synchronized catching behaviors of the players. By these components, the players can be encouraged to more actively participate in the training for a good teamwork to produce harmonized rowing movements Our methods for the motion recognition for rowing and item catch require the tracking data only for the head and the both hands and are fast enough to facilitate the real-time performance. In order to enhance immersiveness of the virtual environment, we project the rowing simulation result on a wide curved screen.

본 논문은 다중의 플레이어들이 단합된 동작을 통해 노를 저어 보트를 이동시키도록 하기 위해 동작에 의해 구동되는 조정(rowing) 시뮬레이션 프레임워크를 제안한다. 실제 조정 경기에서 보트를 가속하기 위해서는 선수들이 시간과 자세에 대해 노 젓는 동작을 동기화 시키는 것이 매우 중요하다. 조정의 이러한 흥미로운 특징을 이용하여, 본 논문에서는 다중 플레이어들이 노 젓는 동작을 수행하는 동안 그들 사이의 동작 유사도를 실시간으로 측정하고 그 유사도에 기반하여 가상 환경에서 보트의 속도를 제어한다. 또한 제안된 프레임워크에 아이템 획득과 같은 게임적인 요소들을 추가하여 플레이어들의 조화된 행동에 의해 아이템을 획득한 경우 아이템 종류에 따라 배의 속도가 증가하거나 감소하도록 한다. 이러한 게임적인 요소들은 플레이어들이 단합된 조정 동작을 생성하기 위한 좋은 팀워크를 훈련할 때 좀더 적극적으로 참여하도록 장려한다. 노 젓는 동작과 아이템을 획득하는 동작을 인식하기 위해 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 머리와 양손에 대한 추적 데이터만을 필요로 하며 실시간에 동작할 정도로 충분히 빠르다. 몰입감을 높이기 위해 조정 시뮬레이션 결과를 대형 곡면 스크린에 프로젝션 한다.
