Taichi VR
We began by asking ourselves the question: how might we enhance the experience of exercise for the elderly. The problem traditionally with Taichi is the logistical hassle with hiring an instructor or booking a venue. In regions where such communities are few and far between, our virtual Taichi environment could be a great substitute. The practitioners will have their limbs tracked in virtual reality and be given feedback on how many correct repetitions have been executed. The training instructor could also be viewed from multiple angles to help the user better understand the form of the moves.
