Outline of Final Research Achievements

We challenged to develop the measurement system of body motion based on the commercial game devices:i.e., Microsoft Kinect and Nntendo Wii Balance Board. Both the body motion and the electromyograph during the Kendo Men strike were measured by using the developed system simulteneously. The differences between expert and beginner were discussed quantitatively. We tried to measure the degree of skill by the quantitatively. We aimed to introduce our system to the school lesson in order to support the non expert "budo" teacher.
