Collision Prediction in Gesture-Based Computer Games
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In computer games that rely on user gestures, there is a risk of collision between users or between users and objects, which can lead to injuries or damage, and existing systems lack effective methods to predict and prevent such collisions.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device that determines the range of motion for each subject based on form information and predicts potential collisions, generating warning information or pausing the game execution if a collision is anticipated, using a control unit to transmit images and sound warnings.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If gesture-based computer games are executed with full freedom of motion, then user interaction and game immersion are improved, but collision risk between users or between users and objects increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by determining the range of motion for each user and predicting potential collisions before they occur. The control unit calculates motion ranges based on user positions and game requirements, then issues warnings or pauses the game in advance to prevent collisions, maintaining both freedom of interaction and safety.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring user positions and motion ranges during game execution. When a potential collision is detected, the control unit provides real-time feedback through warnings or game pauses, allowing users to adjust their movements and prevent collisions while maintaining overall game freedom.
2Reliability
If motion range determination and collision prediction are implemented, then user safety is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit performs multiple functions including determining user positions, calculating range of motion, predicting collisions, and issuing warnings or pausing the game. By consolidating these safety-related functions into a single control unit, the system achieves comprehensive safety monitoring without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
