“…Renner, Velichkovsky and Helmert (2013) also show that feedback and exercise improve distance estimation in VR. Katz, Parker, Tyreman and Levy (2008) stress the importance of audio in VR, which can be given in three ways: music, sound effects and speech. Sound is a key indicator of motion and it can reflect the environment.…”

“…A kind of collision system has to occur in systems like combat sports, where a tactile feedback of attack hits would make sense. Furthermore, the accurate sense of necessary force has to be implemented (Katz, Parker, Tyreman & Levy, 2008).…”

“…1 provides a schematic overview of sport related virtual environments on the basis of several review articles, e.g. Argelaguet and Andujar (2013), Bowman and McMahan (2007), Craig (2013), Ida (2015), Katz, Parker, Tyreman & Levy (2008), LaViola (2000), Lin & Wolgedeorgis (2015), Müller & Abernethy (2012), Pinder, Davids, Rensahw and Araùjo (2011), Plass, Homer and Haywards (2009), Rebenitsch and Owen (2016), Renner, Velichkovsky and Helmert (2013), Schuemie, van der Straaten, Krijn and van der Mast (2001), Steuer (1992), Wang, Li, Zhang and Chen (2016), Zaal and Bootsma (2011) and Zeltzer (1992).…”

“…realistic rendering and the reduction of latencies (time delays between user's action and adaptation of the VR), and human demands, such as the reduction of cybersickness and the implementation of a natural sports setting, where sports specific behavior is allowed and can be analyzed, are important to achieve functional fidelity, immersion and interactivity. Furthermore, additional feedback, such as sound, haptics or smell can be implemented to involve all senses of the user (Katz, Parker, Tyreman & Levy, 2008). However, one should be aware of the Cyborg's dilemma (Biocca, 1997), where symptoms of discomfort can arise, when several kinds of feedback produce a sensory mismatch due to latencies.…”

This article discusses the development and application of virtual environments (VEs) in the domain of exercise as well as research in recreational and high-performance sports. A special focus is put on the use of virtual characters (VCs). For its elaboration, the following criteria parameters were chosen: scene content and the role of the VC, output device, kind of additional feedback, level of expertise of the tested participants, kind of user’s movement (reaction), kind of the visualization of the user’s body, kind of study and kind of evaluation. We explored the role of VCs embodying virtual opponents, teammates, or coaches in sports. We divided these VCs in passive and autonomous characters. Passive VCs are not affected by the user, whereas autonomous VCs adapt autonomously to the user’s movements and positions. We identified 44 sport related VEs, thereof 22 each in the domain of recreational sports and high-performance sports: of the identified 44 VEs, 19 VEs are without VC, 20 VEs with passive VCs, and 5 VEs with autonomous VCs. We categorized studies examining expert athletes in high-performance sports as well as studies analyzing novices, beginners or advanced athletes in recreational sports. Nevertheless, all identified systems are suitable for athletes of recreational and high-performance level

“…VR has been used effectively to help train astronauts, pilots, physicians, military personnel, and athletes [35]. In a 3D virtual environment, the coach may regulate important factors that influence perception, such as speed, orientation and directional changes, simply by operating a joystick or a keyboard.…”

Abstract. With advances in hardware and software, computer science based technologies within sports sciences are becoming more pervasive. This paper presents the growing field of applied computer science often referred to as "sports informatics", and considers some of the advancements that have been made by its relatively small, but growing research community. The review includes: feedback systems, team play analysis, image/motion analysis, exertion interfaces and virtual reality, and data mining and artificial intelligence.

Ubiquitous (pervasive) computing is a term for a synergetic use of sensing, communication and computing. Pervasive use of computing has seen a rapid increase in the current decade. This development has propagated in applied sport science and everyday life. The work presents a survey of recent developments in sport and leisure with emphasis on technology and computational techniques. A detailed analysis on new technological developments is performed. Sensors for position and motion detection, and such for equipment and physiological monitoring are discussed. Aspects of novel trends in communication technologies and data processing are outlined. Computational advancements have started a new trend - development of smart and intelligent systems for a wide range of applications - from model-based posture recognition to context awareness algorithms for nutrition monitoring. Examples particular to coaching and training are discussed. Selected tools for monitoring rules' compliance and automatic decision-making are outlined. Finally, applications in leisure and entertainment are presented, from systems supporting physical activity to systems providing motivation. It is concluded that the emphasis in future will shift from technologies to intelligent systems that allow for enhanced social interaction as efforts need to be made to improve user-friendliness and standardisation of measurement and transmission protocols.
