Hence, we propose a virtual reality ski training system, which visualizes prerecorded expert motion in different ways and enables users to learn by copying. The system is based on a commercial indoor ski simulator, a VR headset, and two VR trackers to capture the ski's motion. Users can control their skis on the virtual ski slope and improve their skills by following a digital avatar of the expert skier replayed in front of them. We investigate 3 types of visualizations for training: Graphs to visualize the angle of feet compared to the expert, periodic copies of the expert's pose to show the spatial and temporal motion of the key movements, and a more minimal ribbon-trace of the leading skier to point out the optimized trajectory.","PeriodicalId":216038,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2019 Posters","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129977111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When teaching programming to lower grader students, robots and puzzles are often used to learn programming for easy understanding. However, those tools have limitations in execution results. Higher graders often use visual programming as a learning material. However, there is a problem that visual programming requires one computer for each individual student, and many students have to learn how to use a computer first. Therefore we propose a programming tool using tangible blocks and AR. This makes it possible to learn programming intuitively with fewer restrictions. Our tool is operated using a smartphone and tangible blocks without using a computer. By using AR, it is possible to create an intuitive programming that can interact with reality. We asked teachers who have experience teaching programming to children to assess the usefulness of our tool within programming education in school. As a result, there was an opinion that it might be suitable for multi-person programming.","PeriodicalId":216038,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2019 Posters","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116023437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, we bind input geometry to a triangle mesh, to decouple the complexity of input geometry from mesh topology.
