Abstract:The development of a widely applicable automatic motion coaching system requires one to address a lot of issues including motion capturing, motion analysis and comparison, error detection as well as error feedback. In order to cope with this complexity, most existing approaches focus on a specific motion sequence or exercise. As a first step towards the development of a more generic system, this paper systematically analyzes different error and feedback types. A prototype of a feedback system that addresses multiple modalities is presented. The system allows to evaluate the applicability of the proposed feedback techniques for arbitrary types of motions in a next step.
