To Develop the Virtual Physics Laboratory by Integrating Kinect with Gesture Classification Algorithm

Abstract

Physics is an experimental science, which is through experiments for initiating students into physical concepts and principles. To motivate students in learning physics, in this study, a virtual physics laboratory was developed by using the techniques of Kinect, Unity3D and a gesture classification algorithm. The visual physics experiments were designed in the virtual physics laboratory. The experimental results show that the user can accurately interact with the virtual objects in the virtual physics laboratory, and the developed system provides an interesting way to assist students in learning physics.
