Description This project aims at the evaluation of multimodal feedback in trunk-arm rowing. Visual feedback: As soon as the oar blade deviates from a reference trajectory, the oar blade starts drawing a trace. The trace disappears after 8 seconds. Auditory feedback: The horizontal oar movement is sonified when the oar is out of the water. An increasing horizontal oar angle is mapped to an increasing pitch. The sonification of the own oar is played on the right earphone, the sonification of a reference oar on the left earphone. When the oar is in the water, water interaction sound is played. Haptic feedback: Forces against the rowers blade movement are applied when the deviation from the reference trajectory exceeds a certain threshold. Movements toward the reference trajectory are not hindered. The rower has to find the "path of least resistance". Director Roland Sigrist
