virtual reality for sports training

Athletes are already using Virtual Reality as a higher-order training tool. Golfers practice their swing in virtual golf applications. Bobsledders practice moves in virtual simulations with various simulated tracks and surface conditions. Skiers and sprinters use virtual modeling to view and refine their moves. If you are interested, then also see VR site Comparing Head-Mounted and Stationary Displays for more.

To be interactive, the computer-created world must respond to one's action through sufficient speed and appropriateness to offer a participating human the sensation of engaging a real setting. Considering speed, "response lag" is the lag in computer response to our movement. Latency erodes the sense of believability. Continued advancement and formations in computer operating power are decreasing latency to make possible more accurate and less-costly Virtual Reality (VR) uses. Linked page Virtual Tours Maplewood, Minnesota also deals with these topics.
