A traditional bekel game using leap motion controller

Abstract

Bekel game is a traditional game originated from West Java. The game requires seeds and ball to play. The number of seeds to be played is around 6-10 seeds. The game is played by throwing the ball upwards then taking the seeds one at a time, two at a time and so on until the seeds are taken at once. The rule of the Bekel game is the ball can only bounce once on the floor. However, Bekel traditional game is rarely played nowadays as the rapid development of technology on modern games. Therefore, required a modern technology to be used to play bekel in game application. In this research, authors built the bekel traditional game application using Leap Motion Controller as a tool to play the game. Using this tool, players can interact in game applications with hand gestures read by Leap Motion sensors. This research has proved that the existed traditional game applications can be developed with Leap Motion Controller technology.
