Research Focus
In this project, we will be testing visual feedback. We're interested in finding out how different visualizations, or placement, of a teacher and student in a virtual world impact the student's accuracy in learning physical motion.

Deviation of the student's body position from the teachers will be measured using the optical motion capture equipment and expressed as: mean absolute joint angle difference summed over all joints.

Testing Procedures
We will be conducting three rounds of pilot studies. Our focus will be determining if replication in a virtual environment is useful. We'll use common sense to quickly choose the best option in round one and two, but we will bring in as many naive subjects for the replication pilot as possible.

Pilot 1: single copy of master and student
Which way should the master face?

Pilot 2: multiple copies of master and student
Which is more effective, one copy of the student and master or two?

Pilot 3: replication
Does replication help and does it work better for single copy or dual copy visualizations?

Participants
All participants are volunteers from Carnegie Mellon University and University of Pittsburgh. participant survey

Data Analysis Details
We utilized reasonable ways to eliminate side effect in order to reduce the error values that we got. more...

Results
We tested several immersive techniques, such as providing multiple copies of a teacher’s body positioned around the student and allowing the student to su-perimpose his body directly on top of a teacher’s body. Surprisingly, none of these techniques were significantly better than mimicking how Tai Chi is traditionally taught, where we provided one virtual teacher directly in front of the student. read paper
