Abstract

Kinect has become quite popular for gaming as it tracks players' natural gestures without a controller like other gaming systems. But it has some inherent limitations such as occlusion problem and fails to track a player accurately if there is an obstacle. In this work, we propose to leverage smartphone to supplement Kinect. We explore how to fuse information from Kinect's tracking with the smartphone's sensor readings to improve Kinect gaming experience.
