Interactive instant replay: sharing sports experience using 360-degrees spherical images and haptic sensation based on the coupled body motion

Abstract

We propose "Interactive Instant Replay" system that the user can experience previously recorded sports play with 360-degrees spherical images and haptic sensation. The user wears a HMD, holds a Haptic Racket and experience the first person sports play scene with his own coupled body motion. The system proposed in this paper could be integrated with existing television broadcasting data that can be used in large sports events such as 2020 Olympic, to experience the same sports play experience at home.
