Abstract
The purpose of this study is to support die bedridden and physically handicapped people who live independently. In this study, we developed an Electric appliances control system that can be used on the bed. The subject performs system control using hand motion. The hand detection uses infrared sensor of Kinect. Our developed system was tested with some normal subject and results of the experiment were evaluated. In this experiment, all subjects laid on the bed and tried to control our system. As results, most of subjects were able to control our developed system perfectly. However, motion tracking of some subject's hand was reset forcibly. It was difficult for these subjects to make die system recognize his opened hand. From these results, we think if this problem will be improved our support system will be useful for the bedridden and physically handicapped persons.
