Abstract

This article proposes a training support system of holding chopsticks both for beginners and people with the wrong holding. Although eating with chopsticks is a part of East and Southeast Asian cultures, many people does not hold the chopsticks correctly. Since the posture of the holding is complex form in three dimensional space, two dimensional media such as textbooks and videos is insufficient for learning and training. Therefore, this article proposes a system, which acquires a trainee’s holding posture from a camera and a contactless motion sensor, and evaluates and represents the correctness of the posture in comparison of the correct one. Since the augmented reality (AR) technology is introduced into the representation, the system makes the trainee understand the difference easily.
