Abstract

In this paper, a new sports genre, "Aerial Sports" is introduced where the humans and robots collaborate to enjoy space as a whole new field. By integrating a flight unit with the user's voluntary motion, everyone can enjoy the crossing physical limitations such as height and physique. The user can dive into the drone by wearing a HMD and experience the provided binocular stereoscopic visuals and sensation of flight using his limbs effectively. In this paper, the requirements and design steps for a Synchronization of visual information and physical motion in a flight system is explained mainly for aerial sports experience. The requirements explained in this paper can be also adapted to the purpose such as search and rescue or entertainment purposes where the coupled body motion has advantages.
