Master Motion

Master Motion is a project of the Carnegie Mellon University Entertainment Technology Center. A prototype Tai Chi game uses a wireless virtual reality system to track and record full body movements while producing an animated representation of the player. This game, which is not currently available, allows players to work out with a virtual trainer and receive constant feedback back on accuracy and progress.
