Title:
- PushToSki - An Indoor Ski Training System Using Haptic Feedback
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
Haptic feedback is an intuitive way of improving required postures in sports without having the trainee change their head-pose towards visual cues and therefore possibly worsening their overall body-pose. However, this feedback is not possible in a dynamic sport like alpine skiing which is why we propose a virtual reality ski training system that uses vibration as a haptic feedback method. Our system uses a commercially available indoor ski simulator and several trackers to capture the user’s motion together with a set of vibration motors which will provide direct, haptic feedback to the user. Our system therefore allows giving haptic feedback even while the trainee is moving on the simulator.
