Image training assist system for motor skill learning

In this paper, we propose image training assist system for motor skill learning. The system consists of a monitor, cameras, sensors, and PCs. The system captures the learner's motion and displays the learner's motion by 3D graphics in the virtual environment on the monitor. The learner can put down a point and comments in the virtual environment displayed by the monitor. Since the point is overlapped on the instructor's motion and displayed while learning, the learner can train the motor skill with the specified point. Moreover, the system provides effective functions for the motor skill learning such as the comparison between the learner's motion and the instructor's, the current and the past. We adapt the system to learning Kyudo (Japanese traditional archery) as one of the motor skill learning, and evaluate the image training assist system
