Challenges of Virtual reality for sports training
By Franck Multon, Senior Researcher, IRISA
Virtual reality is being democratized with mass-market solutions for a wide range of applications, especially for entertainment.
Virtual and augmented reality promise experiences on a continuum between the real and simulated worlds, including a high degree of control over the experience, while approximating real-life conditions.
In the field of sport, virtual reality has gone from being a tool to motivate physical activity, to the serious training of high-level athletes. But what are the limits of these approaches, and the challenges ahead?
