The current study suggests ways to incorporate the traditional Chinese culture into the design of new media art as well as the conditions to reach the interactivity in these designs. In order to enhance the artistic expression and increase the level of emotional involvement between audience and artwork, an interactive simulation system based on three dimensional gestures was created through Kinect motion sensing technology. Integrating the behavioral interaction and environmental adaptability detection approach, the system allows combined control and simulation of three-dimensional gesture interactions with artworks. It was found that the given approach provides a steady output at low latency of 3D gesture interaction simulation, keeping recognition lag rate under 4.96%. Approbation of the system by users was 66.67%. The developed simulation system is efficient in terms of facilitating cultural expression.
