virtual reality for sports training

Athletes are currently using Virtual Reality (VR) as a higher-order training tool. Golfers practice their swing in virtual golf uses. Bobsled teams practice moves in virtual simulations under different simulated tracks and conditions. Skiers and runners use virtual modeling to analyze and improve their moves. See also Virtual Mermaids for additional information.

"Telepresence" involves the distance operation interface engages so much of the operator's sensory bandwidth that the operator feels like they are genuinely there at the distant location. This is a higher standard than virtual presence operation. The page on Virtual Tours Portland, Oregon discusses additional topics.

Home Virtual Reality Tours also has interesting notes.
