Abstract

The present invention is aimed at detecting an operator's height and position of each body part with a certain range of accuracy, which is used for calculation of a BMI value or operation of a game. An exercise assist device () is provided with a horizontal bar (), a bar support () to support the bar, and a floor mat () on a surface of its body. A video camera () is mounted on the top of a monitor () as illustrated, for example, in FIG.and captures the operator as well as the horizontal bar () and bar support () in one image. Since the horizontal bar () and bar support () together with the operator are captured in one image, they become a three-dimensional measurement reference, so that the operator's height can be calculated from the captured image.
