Abstract
Body weight-transfer plays an important role in many exercises. The correlation of the body posture, movement, and weight-transfer will mutually affect the trainee to do well in performances such as Tai-Chi exercise. According to the traditional way of learning Tai-Chi, we proposed Stillness Moves, a physical training system for Tai-Chi, which captures and records users’ skeleton movement and weight-transfer information for offering real-time and summary visual feedback. Based on above, we provide a gradual learning program in physical training, which combines body movement and weight-transfer learning. We evaluated our system and compared the performance without and with weight-transfer guidance in the user study. The result demonstrated that weight-transfer guidance is beneficial for trainee learning the Tai-Chi moves. For difficult moves, the trainee should learn the weight-transfer first, then, learning the body movement.
