Abstract

A system, method and computer program product to train a user to reproduce a reference motion with a haptic feedback system having one or more sensors. The method includes receiving a user-selection of a reference motion pattern, selected from a plurality of motion patterns each of which is machine-interpretable as a time-ordered sequence of reference datasets. The sequence corresponds to a respective reference motion. The method includes capturing a user motion of a user attempting to reproduce the reference motion corresponding to the selected, reference motion pattern. This is accomplished by sampling, via the haptic feedback system, sensor values obtained from the one or more sensors, to obtain appraisal datasets that are representative of the captured user motion. A real-time haptic feedback is provided to the user while capturing the user motion based on comparisons between the appraisal datasets obtained and the reference datasets of the selected, reference motion pattern.
