Abstract

Virtual reality provided a new way for training before flight in the weightless environment. In this study, we established a system that could recognize the human body’s posture in real-time and the recognition results could be used for VR training system. An experiment was conducted to testify the effectiveness of posture recognition in VR training, and the results showed that the recognition results could help promote the sense of immersion and reality in the virtual environment.
