Although positive effects are achieved by continuously performing preventive care and other health activities, performing the same activities every day can be mental strain. Therefore, research has been performed on maintaining the motivation and encouraging them to use exercise systems by incorporating games where the users perform activities. On the other hand, the Kinect system developed by Microsoft is able to recognize people’s postures and the three-dimensional coordinates of their joints, and work has been done to research and develop systems that use a Kinect to measure hand and foot movements for rehabilitation purposes. Since the Kinect can detect real-world human postures, it can also be used to recognize antagonistic exercises. Recently, several Kinect-based commercial rehabilitation systems have been developed. Formerly, we designed and developed a prototype lower-limb chair exercise support system using a depth image sensor and evaluated the performance and usability. The system recognizes and evaluates exercises based on 3D position data and joint angles for skeleton and RGB data obtained from the Kinect sensor. In this study, we designed, implemented and evaluated a system that supports antagonistic exercise using a depth sensor. It recognizes exercises by using skeleton data about the user’s joints acquired from a depth sensor, and evaluates the user’s exercises to provide real-time feedback. This system uses an audiovisual display to explain the exercise procedures to the user, and displays user’s real time video to encourage the user to perform the exercises. It also has a rhythm game function whereby the user can exercise in time with music. This system is provided with four types of exercise: upper/lower limb antagonistic movement, upper limb left/right antagonistic movement, rock/paper/scissors using both arms and both legs, and duple/triple time exercises.
