Abstract
Tai Chi Chuan (or TCC in short) is a famous ancient Chinese martial art. Playing TCC is good for health but hard to learn. In addition to reading the books about TCC and watching the demonstration videos, the traditional ways of learning TCC for most people are that realizing TCC taught by coach personally and then trying to do the same movements. Due to complex and several TCC actions, students often spend a long time observing and realizing. It is possible to say that learning TCC is to rely on personal insight. For instance, the plantar pressure distribution is very particular in TCC but too difficult to identify by only observing coach''s movement or listening to coach''s description.
Therefore, to help people to learn the standard movements and standard plantar pressure distribution of movements to let students improve stably, we provide a pair of pressure sensing shoes, named“sense your feet,” with high-and-low resolution force sensors to quantize user''s and standard plantar pressure distributions and a Tai Chi Chuan instruction system with interactive visual feedback to guide user the correct action of TCC. We do the pilot study of the sensitivity of plantar pressure distribution for human and then find some people are not sensitive to their plantar pressure distribution. We also evaluate our system is effective to help people to learn TCC successfully.
In conclusion, the contributions of our approach are not only a pair of pressure sensing shoes suitable to wear while playing TCC, but also effective TCC instruction system.
