Proposal of boxing practice support system with AR

Abstract

Acquisition of correct forms is the most important training when beginners take up boxing. However, acquirement of correct forms is difficult for the beginners without any coach because of the less-judgment knowledge for punch forms’ qualities. The wrong training brings the beginners to acquire the wrong forms. The aim of this study is to solve the above problem by our proposed self-training system with AR. Our AR self-training system has three functions: feedforward, comparison of punch forms, and feedback. We confirmed that the effectiveness of our system via experimental evaluations using three functions.
