Foot motion sensing : Augmented game interface based on foot interaction for smartphone

• We designed and developmented two games: real-time augmented football game and augmented foot piano game to demonstrate a innovative interface based on foot motion sensing approach for smart phone. In the proposed novel interface, the computer vision based hybrid detection and tracking method provides a core support for foot interaction interface by accurately tracking the shoes. Based on the proposed interaction interface, wo demonstrations are developed, the applications employ augmented reality technology to render the game graphics and game status information on smart phones screen. The players interact with the game using foot interaction toward the rear camera, which triggers the interaction event. This interface supports basic foot motion sensing (i.e. direction of movement, velocity, rhythm).
