Recent advances in immersive technology have opened new possibilities in
sports training, especially for activities requiring precise motor skills, such
as tennis. In this paper, we present a virtual reality (VR) tennis training
system integrating real-time performance feedback through a wearable sensor
device. Ten participants wore the sensor on their dominant hand to capture
motion data, including swing speed and swing power, while engaging in a VR
tennis environment. Initially, participants performed baseline tests without
access to performance metrics. In subsequent tests, participants executed
similar routines with their swing data displayed in real-time via a VR overlay.
Qualitative and quantitative results indicated that real-time visual feedback
led to improved performance behaviors and enhanced situational awareness. Some
participants exhibited increased swing consistency and strategic
decision-making, though improvements in accuracy varied individually.
Additionally, subjective feedback highlighted that the immersive experience,
combined with instantaneous performance metrics, enhanced player engagement and
motivation. These findings illustrate the effectiveness of VR-based data
visualisation in sports training, suggesting broader applicability in
performance enhancement.
