Abstract

This paper provides a training system with an augmented reality interactive body movement for movement learning, such as gymnastics, martial arts, sports or dance learners. The technology of depth image sensor is used to detect, track and measure the body’s movements to collect the path of body’s movement in 3D space, and all images has been further modified to reveal the function of feedback immediately. The learner follows up the pre-recorded tutor’s movement to imitate tutor’s movement step by step. The training system would judge whether the learner’s movement correct or not, compares with tutor’s, and offer an analysis result in-situ. The learner could get a training as well as real expert guides without any constraints of space and time and with low cost in this system.
