Abstract

The invention provides a three-dimensional, digitized motion template, a motion training device, a network of devices, and a method for enabling a student to interactively emulate in real time the three-dimensional, actual moving image of an instructor performing a selected motion. The device includes a video camera configured to transmit a real time background having a live, moving image of the student dynamically performing the selected motion. A monitor is configured for viewing by the student while performing the selected motion. A motion template has a stored sequence of moving images of an instructor dynamically performing the selected motion. The device also includes a method for superimposing the motion template onto the real time background and simultaneously displaying on the monitor the resulting combination of the motion template and the real time background scene. The device can further be one or many devices connected in a network sharing access to a database containing a library of motion templates of different instructors who are top performers in their field.
