A Training System for “Jugote” Routine in Japanese Sword Fighting Choreography

We have developed a Mixed Reality (MR) system to help people learn “Jugote”, the basic movements of “Tate”, Japanese sword fighting choreography. By using an HMD and a wooden sword equipped with a 6-axis sensor, our system shows a 3D model of the correct movements and virtual opponents in MR space. It also provides real-time feedback to accelerate the learning process. An evaluation experiment confirmed that our system is effective.
