Abstract
In this paper, an ergonomic, simple to install and portable system design is presented for those who are new to learning ice skating. The system will support users to apply basic skating techniques correctly. The system is designed to be open, flexible and modular. Therefore this system can be easily extended for more advanced techniques or other sports, requiring body coordination of the system. The main components of the system are inertial measurement units. The inertial measurement unit in the system determines the direction vector of each part of the body. The directions computed by data collected from these sensors form the basis for directing the user in the system. Once the headphones and sensor modules have been installed, the user is assisted with short, motivating and clearly understandable commands.
