\subsubsection{Data Collection and Preparation}  One data collection scheme is implemented. The collection involved gathering of data needed to be able to design the model that will be used as basis for improving the overall functionalities of the game in the study. The model can be used to develop a prototype which is expected to have implemented the collision detection, data processing, feature extraction, and skeletal and motion tracking capabilities of the Kinect sensor that derives only the needed information which is the hand gesture and disregard every other joints.    A group of 10-15 different users with varying physical characteristics such as height, size, age, and gender were asked to use the Kinect. With this the users were asked to perform a hand gesture similar to a specific hand gesture specified by the researchers. The users will do the hand gesture for 3 rounds. Every gesture made per round is equivalent to a different record from the data set. Prior to allowing the researchers to post a certain guideline for the hand gestures that the users are expected to perform in front of the Kinect sensor, the respondents made an agreement to the researchers through a consent form. The hand gestures that were performed by the users are seen in the Appendix A.    In this data collection procedure, the speed, motion and stroke of the user's hand were acquired by the Kinect and made part of the data set. The joints except the hands segment that were recognized by the Kinect sensor were active but will be disregarded in the model building stages entirely. These will basically be used for future references should there be observations, clarifications that might arise leading to the discovery of possibly new insights, or computations as part of the projectile model in the study. \\
