“…Both models were used in a comparable number of studies; however, the Vicon model was used twice by the same researcher in two distinct articles, and a wider range of researchers utilized the Kinect model. Because sensing in single postures while handling the virtual object is currently inadequate, motion capture devices, such as Kinect sensors, are utilized to supplement detection of virtual world players and to reduce occlusion problems [40].…”
