Abstract :
We develop a virtual sports training system for “playing catch”. In this system, a force display device using “parallel wire mechanism” is adopted to obtain performance suitable for sports training. We describe the detail of the device used in this system. Furthermore, some basic experimental results demonstrate that it is capable of achieving the high speed performance enough to implement sports training
