Development of a Motion Teaching System Using an Immersive Projection Display and a Haptic Interface

This paper describes the development of a motion teaching system that uses VR technology. The system consists of a haptic interface and an immersive projection display. The haptic interface is a force display that makes use of a gyroscopic force. The immersive projection display has 3 large screens that cover the front, bottom and -right-hand sides of the user. The display can project a video avatar, which consists of video images of a person. The system can present the motion of a trainer to a trainee by using video avatar images and haptic feedback that are based on the motion of the trainer. The performance of this motion teaching system was evaluated by carrying out some experiments involving motion data that were derived from a traditional SHORINJI trainer
