Watch-Your-Skiing: Visualizations for VR Skiing using Real-time Body Tracking

Correcting one’s body posture is necessary when acquiring specific skills, especially for some sports such as skiing or gymnastics. However, it is difficult to observe our posture objectively, which is the reason why a trainer is required. In this paper, we introduce a VR ski training system using full body motion capture to provide real-time feedback for the user. Two types of different visual cues are developed and qualitatively compared in a user study. This system opens the opportunity to learn alpine skiing by oneself and also has a potential to be applied to other sports or skill acquisition.
