AUFLIP : teaching front flips with auditory feedback towards a system for learning advanced movement

AUFLIP describes an auditory feedback system approach for learning advanced movements, informed and motivated by established methods of implicit motor learning by analogy, our physiological constraints, and the state of the art in augmented motor learning by feedback. AUFLIP presents and validates a physics simplification of an advanced movement, the front flip, and details the implementation of a wearable system, optimized placement procedure, and takeoff capture strategy to realizes this model. With an audio cue pattern that conveys this high level objective, the system is integrated into a gymnastics training environment with professional coaches teaching novice adults how to perform front flips. A strategy, system, and application set building off AUFLIP for more general movement, and applications is further proposed. Lastly, this work performs a preliminary investigatation into the notion of Audio-Movement Congruence, and whether audio feedback for motor learning can be personally tailored to individuals' contextual experiences and background, and explores future applications of the discussed systems and strategies.
