Interactive Game Design and Development of Taishan Shadow Puppet Based on Gesture Recognition

The traditional shadow puppet is a one-way communication medium with limited performance scope. This study designs and develops a somatosensory interactive system that applies virtual reality technology and somatosensory interactive technology to perform Taishan shadow puppet. The system combines differences between the shadow puppet and the user in the limb construction and movement characteristics, utilize an integrated action mapping method between the shadow puppet and the user with integrated action recognition and joint point mapping. Through the realization and application of this design, the multimedia art design and digital technology are closely integrated, so that the effect of digital shadow puppet in art, technology, operation and performance can be improved.
