Versatile Training Field--Siggraph2009-Emerging Technologies

The Versatile Training Field (VTF) is based on the wellness concept: "Change a lifestyle habit and live life to the fullest".
The system is composed of an input device and a PC, a short-focus projector, and two large-scale screens.
The input device consists of a mini trampoline and a position-sensitive-detector beneath the center of the trampoline, which measures change on the trampoline bed.
When the system detects the type and state of the exercise and calculates the viewpoint of the user in VR space, the short-focus projector displys the view on large screens in front of and below the user.
Users see themselves exercising in virtual reality.
VTF is appropriate for home exercise by people of any age.
