Abstract:
1. An apparatus for immediately creating and controlling a virtual reality interactive human body model for a user-centric interface, comprising: a whole body three-dimensional (3D) default model creation unit for creating a whole body 3D default model based on gender and age of a user and a body measurements database; a user hand image acquisition unit for acquiring hand measurement data and skin color data from a hand image of the user which are acquired by an image acquisition device; a user coincident body model transformation unit for predicting measurements of body parts from the hand measurement data and scaling the whole body 3D default model to thereby produce a user coincident 3D body model; a skin texture map selection and application unit for applying a skin texture map to the user coincident 3D body model based on the skin color data of the user's hand; and a real-time motion synchronization unit for linking and synchronizing user tracking data with a hardware interface for real-time interaction.
