PRESENTATION ABSTRACT

Computer-simulated visual display, such as computer graphics (CG) animations and virtual environments (VE), are increasingly being used for the assessment of perceptual motor skills in sports, rehabilitation and physical therapy. I will talk about the results of our previous studies and future perspectives of on-going experiments.

1. Virtual ball catching in CAVE

2. Sense of presence for tennis ball flight in CAVE

4. Collision avoidance in head mount display
