Research And Implementation Of A Somatic Game Based On The Unity3d Game Engine

In recent years, the form of playing games became more and more rich. Peoplepay more attention to the Somatic game gradually. Somatic game appeared to subvertthe game’s monotonous operations, making human-computer interaction conceptsbecome more perfect. Microsoft’s XBOX360Somatic peripheral Kinect, has been ahuge success since it released. The players playing the game no longer need thesupport of an external controller. Kinect can rely on the camera to capture themovement of players in the three-dimensional space, which greatly simplifies theoperation of the game.Somatic game have not been able to promote in coin-operated games and homeconsoles because of the Somatic games on these platforms do not have a wealth ofgame products, most of the Somatic game are dependent on the XBOX360console.Microsoft in early2012release the Kinect development kit for the PC platform,however, the toolkit is not yet complete. Many developers are already using OpenNIto provide driver support for the Kinect, but this has not yet been applied to a maturegame.To solve the problems mentioned above, this paper use unity to develop aSomatic game using the Kinect sensor. This paper first discusses the basic methods todesign a Somatic game and the art effects used in the somatic game. The articleexplains the basic knowledge of key points of the game design, and the ways on howto combine Unity3d to carry out on these points. In the specific game, discuss themodule design of the somatic game, and use analogy analysis method to draw theirstrengths and weaknesses. In the specific module design part, combines Unity3d engine to design the framework of the game, and achieve the basic functionality of thegame, including the physics system, particle system and the animation system. Thissomatic game use OpenNI as a framework to drive the Kinect sensor. However, it alsosupport the Microsoft Kinect SDK.This paper investigates the possibility to make itrunnable.This paper discusses the process to make a somatic game based on unity3d.The game uses the kinect sensor as an input device, which can be driven by OpenNIor Kinect SDK. This paper put forward views on the game’s advanced featuresmodule and bring forward the way to make unity3d to use Kinect as a sensor forplaying game. Most importantly, this paper provides a reference for developers whowant to use Unity3d to develop somatic games.
