Abstract

See full text

In an apparatus and method for teaching motor skills to a human subject, learning by a student is based upon imitation of a teacher's motion. The teacher's motion is sensed by a motion sensing device, is digitized by a computer, and is then recorded in non-volatile computer memory. The computer generates an image sequence of the teacher on the computer display for the student to view and imitate. The same motion sensing device used to record the teacher's movement records the student's movement and the computer creates an image sequence on the display corresponding to the student's movement, simultaneously providing an image sequence of the teacher's movement. The training of the student is based upon displaying the pre-stored teacher's motion on the screen. The student's task is to imitate the teacher's movement. This process is repeated until the teacher's and student's trajectories match well in space and time.
