Jamarat Ritual Simulation with Myo Armband for Precise Throws Speed

摘要

In this paper pertains the uses of the Myo Armband device as the input of simulation based on one of Hajj ritual, Throws pebbles at pillars. Hajj is one of the most important rituals in Muslim religion. An accident happen in 1998 and 2004 that took a hundreds of lives on this ritual. Thus, a simulation is made for a prospective pilgrims to give insight in hope to reduce and prevent accident that will happen. This simulation will mainly discuss at giving a throwing method with precise speed that also give a real impression in the simulation, since the throw was the important aspect. Myo Armband suited for this task, because can provide both interaction from its gesture recognition and data that needed for controlling virtual hand. The simulation also use a crowd Artificial Intelligence that give user a Jamarat Bridge atmosphere. In real life test conducted to determine the speed accuracy between hand throw with a virtual throwing using a third application called sport speed gun to measure speed.
