Introduction:

 

Inviting Master Fu Nengbin for the second time to Switzerland since 2011, the Tai Chi Club Wil 2025 took 3D motion capture records of him practicing one whole set of Chen Style Taijiquan System with Vicon technology at Quantum Stage Studio in Winterthur. With the help of Tobias Baumann we developed in the past few months the prototype of a virtual Tai Chi Master avatar that can be projected into your augmented reality environment by means of headsets like Meta Quest 3. Its cameras allow to see the real environment and the virtual avatar is being added to it and can be moved to any suitable position. You can watch the Tai Chi moves at different speed from any angle in the room and follow them.

Our experience in teaching Tai Chi for many years is, that it is not always easy for people to follow and learn the complex moves, especially at the beginning. Our technological innovation aims at helping people to repeat and internalize the Tai Chi moves at home or any place. It can also allow people to learn Tai Chi who don’t have a teacher nearby. However, we still believe that a real teacher is necessary to teach the basic physical and mental requirements to actually improve health.
