Enhanced visual appearance, punch-style weight and physical characteristics based Leap Motion game

The majority of existing gesture recognition games consist of gesture recognition and scoring, thus providing game content and interaction. This paper uses Leap Motion gesture recognition to present a game model that reflects gesture-dependent impact levels and the physical characteristics of players. A game was implemented in which gestures are recognised through the Leap Motion that accompanies a player's gesture by providing a gesture-specific weight, thereby considering the player's physical characteristics. Leap Motion is used as the interface with which to implement a natural punch-style for gesture generation and to stimulate a player's interest and immersion experience.
