Abstract
A method and apparatus for motion capture interface using multiple fingers are disclosed. The method includes measuring a position of an end of a middle finger of an actual hand in a state in which the actual hand is spread, deriving a starting reference position of the middle finger of the actual hand, and calculating a length of the middle finger of the actual hand. The method further includes recognizing a relationship between starting reference positions of a thumb, an index finger, a middle finger, and a wrist based on using a virtual hand reference model that models a virtual hand to be controlled.
