更進一步將數位布袋戲互動實體化,應用數位手套+機器人+虛擬布袋戲完成第一階段,布袋戲教學活動

電指花戲 The Glove Puppet Robot : X-puppet

數位手套,可讓使用者直接戴上後,直接做操偶手勢便可即時控制機器人,使其做出對應的動作。

動作編輯軟體,藉由電腦圖形視窗,動作分格技巧,使用者可自由組合分類好的動作如舉手,點頭等,搭配時間軸和音樂軌,輕鬆編輯出一連串複雜的動作以及背景音樂。

X-puppet具有力感測裝置,可以感知其力道與方位,這將提升其互動模式的豐富性與趣味性。

互動式遊戲介面,由3D繪圖軟體建立虛擬的三度空間,讓虛擬的數位布袋戲,遊走虛擬場景中,並透過辨識數位手套資訊,操控圖像式立體遊戲介面環境與領導觀眾達到寓教於樂的目的。
