VR Shooting Form Practice System for Inexperienced Kyudo Players
Sogo Kase, Tatsuo Nakajima · 2025
We developed a Virtual Reality (VR) training system for Kyudo (Japanese archery) form practice that enables inexperienced Kyudo players to practice shooting form efficiently by themselves.Specifically, the system allows users to observe the movement of a model avatar from any direction in the VR space and to practice by overlapping their movements with that of the model avatar.After the development of the system, we conducted an experiment to compare the conventional practice method of watching a video of a skilled player on a laptop computer with the practice method using the system.The results showed the practice method using this system leads to more efficient practice of Kyudo form than the conventional method.
