“…The SPRINT system consists of a platform fixed to the ground including two oars, a sliding seat and a foot-stretcher similar to outdoor rowing shells. 20 The platform was equipped with encoders that capture oars’ rotations with respect to the platform and the displacement of the seat. The force that is exerted on the oars is estimated according to the oar motion as explained by Frisoli et al 21 and can be widely regulated to meet requirements of sculling and sweep rowing.…”

The paper presents a sensor fusion model for integrating wearable inertial measures with sensors in the environment. This approach is designed and tested to support body motion tracking of rowing in indoor and outdoor environment. The paper presents the approach based on a complex kinematic model and unscented Kalman filtering. The approach is validated in an in-door setup based on the SPRINT rowing system by comparison against results obtained from a commercial motion capture system, thus providing future directions for the assessment of rowers performance on an instrumented boat

“…Although a few sport simulators incorporating augmented or virtual reality have been developed, such as for rowing (Frisoli et al, 2008;Ruffaldi, Gonzales, et al, 2009;von Zitzewitz et al, 2008), canoeing (Tang, Carignan, & Olsson, 2006), bicycling (Carraro, Cortes, Edmark, & Ensor, 1998;Mestre, Maïano, Dagonneau, & Mercier, 2011), bobsledding (Kelly & Hubbard, 2000), archery (Göbel, Geiger, Heinze, & Marinos, 2010), gymnastics (Multon, Hoyet, Komura, & Kulpa, 2007), and dancing (Drobny & Borchers, 2010;Drobny, Weiss, & Borchers, 2009;Nakamura, Tabata, Ueda, Kiyofuji, & Kuno, 2005), these simulators have not been used to examine the effectiveness of augmented feedback for motor learning or to evaluate different visual feedback designs. The design of a visual feedback may have a significant impact on the outcome; for example, reduced visibility fostered learning more than did fully visible feedback (Robin et al, 2005).…”

Augmented visual, auditory, haptic, and multimodal feedback in motor learning: A review

It is generally accepted that augmented feedback, provided by a human expert or a technical display, effectively enhances motor learning. However, discussion of the way to most effectively provide augmented feedback has been controversial. Related studies have focused primarily on simple or artificial tasks enhanced by visual feedback. Recently, technical advances have made it possible also to investigate more complex, realistic motor tasks and to implement not only visual, but also auditory, haptic, or multimodal augmented feedback. The aim of this review is to address the potential of augmented unimodal and multimodal feedback in the framework of motor learning theories. The review addresses the reasons for the different impacts of feedback strategies within or between the visual, auditory, and haptic modalities and the challenges that need to be overcome to provide appropriate feedback in these modalities, either in isolation or in combination. Accordingly, the design criteria for successful visual, auditory, haptic, and multimodal feedback are elaborated.

“…She should supervise, analyze, correct and motivate the user to carry out a specific task in the best way. The transfer of skill and knowledge (acquired from external events) to the brain comes in time, as the novice user repeats and comprehends the process [10]. Nowadays, the Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) have transformed the way communication, interaction and learning occur for the human being [11].…”

Abstract. Basketball has grown into an international sport played and watched by millions of people. This paper describes the implementation of a virtual basketball accelerator. The main purpose of our study was to devise an application that could literary help players in practicing a free throw game indoors. In the development of this project we used Matlab, XVR and 3ds Max. The Matlab trajectory is simulated considering the development of a realistic behavior. The data acquisition from the trackers is adapted both for magnetic and optical markers, therefore extending its usability. The coordinates are then sent via UDP to the XVR environment, which draws the moving parts accordingly. The overall performance is improved by paying a great deal of attention to details.
