A participative system for tactics analysis in sport training based on immersive virtual reality

The use of new technologies is becoming a common practice in many competitive sports, from soccer to football, basketball, golf, tennis, swimming, etc. In particular, Virtual Reality (VR) is increasingly being used to cope with a number of aspects that are essential in athletes’ preparation. Within the above context, this paper presents a platform that allows coaches to interactively create and modify game tactics, which can be then visualized simultaneously by multiple players wearing VR headsets into an immersive 3D environment.
