Abstract

Abstract: China's population is aging rapidly and it is an interesting topic to use information technology to help the elderly to improve the quality of life. Based on the study of relative researches on Kinect applications, a 3D interactive table tennis game for the elderly was designed to improve the upper limb movement of the elderly. Emotion reasoning rules were built with agent theory to let virtual human display the feedback of the user’s operation by facial expression and voice. Preliminary test results show that the game is easy to operate and can provide a new method for elderly to exercise at home and to regulate their emotions.
