Slackliner: an interactive assistant for slackline training

In this paper we present an interactive slackline assistant which features a life-size projection, skeleton tracking and real-time feedback. As in other sports, proper training leads to a faster buildup of skill and lessens the risk for injuries. We chose a set of exercises from slackline literature and implemented an interactive trainer which guides through the several exercises and gives feedback if the exercise was executed correctly. A post analysis gives the user feedback about her perfomance.
