Body Motion Training and Qualification System and Method
First Claim
1. A system for training and qualification of a user performing a skill-related training exercise involving body motion in a workspace, comprising:
- an input device operable by the user in the workspace when performing the training exercise, the input device being such as to provide the user with a physical feeling of an object normally used to perform the training exercise;
a detection device positioned non-invasively with respect to the workspace, for measuring 3D angles and spatial coordinates of reference points relative to the input device and an organ of vision of the user during performance of the training exercise a display device viewable by the user during performance of the training exercise;
a computer apparatus connectable with the input device, the detection device and the display device, the computer apparatus having a memory with computer readable code embodied therein, for execution by the computer apparatus for;
, selecting a training environment related to the training exercise to be performed from a training database;
adjusting variables, parameters and controls of the training environment and training exercise;
monitoring use of the input device by the user;
monitoring the 3D angles and spatial coordinates measured by the detection device and computing an organ of vision-object relation as a function thereof;
computing a simulated 3D dynamic environment in real time as a function of the training environment selected, the simulated 3D dynamic environment reflecting effects caused by actions performed by the user on objects in the simulated 3D dynamic environment as monitored from the input device and the detection device;
generating images of the simulated 3D dynamic environment in real time on the display device as a function of the organ of vision-object relation;
recording data indicative of the actions performed by the user and the effects of the actions; and
setting user qualification as a function of the recorded data.

Abstract
The system allows training and qualification of a user performing a skill-related training exercise involving body motion in a workspace. A training environment is selected through a computer apparatus, and variables, parameters and controls of the training environment and the training exercise are adjusted. Use of an input device by the user is monitored. The 3D angles and spatial coordinates of reference points related to the input device are monitored through a detection device. A simulated 3D dynamic environment reflecting effects caused by actions performed by the user on objects is computed in real time as a function of the training environment selected. Images of the simulated 3D dynamic environment in real time are generated on a display device viewable by the user as a function of a computed organ of vision-object relation. Data indicative of the actions performed by the user and the effects of the actions are recorded and user qualification is set as a function of the recorded data.
