Cognicise Virtual Reality System

In this paper, we propose a virtual reality (VR) system that allows a single person to enjoy “cognicise” activities by combining VR technology and user gesture recognition. Cognicise is a coined term that combines cognition and exercise. In the proposed system, by capturing the user’s walking motions, the virtual avatar in the VR space walks in conjunction with the user’s walking motion. In addition, by capturing the user’s hand motions (rock, paper, and scissors gestures), the user can play the rock-paper-scissors game with the system’s virtual avatar in the VR space. The proposed system includes three types of rock-paper-scissors games and a function that allows the user to check their rock-paper-scissors results.
