augmented reality for Gymnastics Coaching

I can’t foresee computers taking over for coaches any time soon, but I’m certain we’ll be using augmented reality lenses.

I’d like to watch gymnasts training over-layed with A.R. ideal models.

Sonya Meraz – Beam tumbling

There’s not much science in this short science video. No mention of centre of mass over base of support. No discussion on how forces are generated.

But they are big on suede. 🙂 (A suede-like fabric, actually)
