Abstract
Virtual reality(VR) games have been popular in recent years, developed in the form of the games by capturing the body’s various physiological activities, including the surrounding environmental factors to achieve a colorful variety of game features. This paper presents a system using acceleration sensor to capture the body movements to achieve gaming method. First the user’s motion is captured by accelerometer sensor, then the signals collected by sensor can be processed and sent to computer. Finally the motion data of virtual character are synthesized to the VR game by the common interface processing these data. This motion-imitate system is diversity with combining various other appliances and the price and difficulty of development is reduced comparing with the recent mainstream VR games developing method.
