Project Details
- "Training has been considered one of the most natural application areas of virtual reality (VR). This project demonstrates VR's utility for learning limb-motion profiles required in sports, dance, and the arts (for example, a golf-swing, martial arts, calligraphy, etc.)"
- "The central concept, called Just Follow Me (JFM), is based on an intuitive interaction method called the "ghost" metaphor. Through the Ghost metaphor, the motion of the trainer is visualized in real time as a ghost (initially superimposed on the trainee) moving out of one's body. The trainee, who sees the motion from different viewpoints, is to "follow" the ghostly master as close as (or as fast as) possible."
- Training can be enhanced by showing other guidance cues (for example, the master's trail, annotations, keyframe intermediate positions, first-person viewpoints, tracking feedback, etc.)
