Design and Implementation of the Augmented Volleyball Court

Abstract

Volleyball is widely popular as a way to share a sense of unity and achievement with others. However, errors detract from the enjoyment for beginners. To overcome this issue, a novel volleyball environment to support beginners in predicting the ball landing position is necessary. To assist sports enthusiasts, there is a lot of study which provided visual feedback onto the sports field. The difference between previous studies and our proposal is that there is a distance between the ball and the floor of the volleyball court which is the sports field. So, it is not clear whether this kind of peripheral visual feedback is effective. In this paper, we described the design and implementation of the developed system that provides visual feedback to support beginners at volleyball in predicting the ball landing position by projection onto the floor surface. Also, we reported the prediction accuracy of the system. We plan to confirm whether this peripheral visual feedback is effective for volleyball beginners for the future work.
