IMPECT-Sports: Using an Immersive Learning System to Facilitate the Psychomotor Skills Acquisition Process

Psychomotor abilities are typically taught in a physical learning environment since they require focused practice and techniques to be learned. However, the lack of feedback modalities in remote psychomotor training makes learning processes ineffective and inefficient and can impede the learner’s progress. In this paper, we propose an immersive learning system to facilitate direct multimodal feedback for psychomotor skills training. Moreover, survey data to measure the perceived effectiveness of each used feedback modality was collected and analyzed. We offer a theoretical feedback model and its practical implementation. Initial study results show promising effectiveness of the employed instruction and feedback modalities. This solution could facilitate the multimodal training of psychomotor skills in a time-efficient manner. More research needs to be conducted in order to further test the system.
