Abstract

The advancements in technology and the possibility of their integration in the domain of virtual environments allow access to new application domains previously limited to highly expensive setups. This is specifically the case of sport training that can take advantage of the improved quality of measurement systems and computing techniques. Given this the challenge that emerges is related to the way training is performed and how it is possible to evaluate the transfer from the virtual setup to the real case. In this work we discuss the aspect of system architecture for a VE in sport training, taking as a case study a rowing training system. The paper will address in particular the challenges of training technique in rowing.
