Educational Applications for Learning Rhythmic Gymnastics Rules Using Motion Data

Abstract

We have developed educational applications to support the learning of rhythmic gymnastics rules using motion-captured animations. We developed a 3D rule book using Web3D technologies and an AR-RG system using augmented reality technologies. The 3D rule book plays 3DCG animations corresponding to the basic motions of rhythmic gymnastics. The AR-RG system helps users understand complicated rules requiring a combination of a basic motion and an apparatus action. These applications were evaluated by active athletes as useful learning tools.
