International ClassesA63B 009/00G09B 009/00 G09B 019/00 AbstractThe present invention pertains to a method and apparatus for simulated training in physical movement using processing system images. Said images may be demonstrative images representing examples of any physical movement, user images that are idiosyncratically controlled by individual users, and/or any combination or separate display of both such images. Simulated training is directed to the personal, interactive control of displayed user controllable images such that the user acquires a level of know-how related to the physical movement of any particular image. Embodiments of the invention could include the physical movement of animals, bacteria, viruses, objects, living, mechanical and electromechanical or other systems and images from live video taping, or animated or computer generated images or live or robots real time images from any other source.Other References
