The diffenence of movement Analysis in Japanese hospitality between expert and non-expert

(The possibility of the development of real-time feedback by Kinect)

Abstract

In Japan, greeting is the basis of Japanese Hospitality called “Omotenashi”, and one of the ways to greet is to bow. We developed Microsoft Kinect as a tool of measuring Japanese Bowing. After we made this measuring tool, we compared the difference between 2D motion analysis data and this Kinect data. We found that there is no much difference between them. In the future, we'll be able to make further development of this measurement tool as real time scoring system by comparing between experienced and inexperienced bowing.
