Abstract

In this paper we report on the preliminary design of a rowing simulator to be integrated in a VR sport training system for rowing. The proposed simulator aims at bringing in an indoor location the specifc features and situations of outdoor rowing, by means of an enhanced Virtual Environment (VE) that combines visual, haptic, acoustic ows to proprio- and exteroception of user status. This paper describes the experimental activities carried out on in-door rowing to characterize the main features of the stroke gesture, the design and analytical study of a uidodynamic dissipator for force rendering and an overview of graphic simulation and of the overall system architecture.
