| Abstract | We are currently observing a paradigm shift in virtual reality and simulation technologies. From being predominantly entertainment focused, these technologies are now finding a much wider use in the so-called "serious games" space, where playing a game teaches the player some useful skills applicable in the physical world. While this trend is booming in military simulations, training and even education, surprisingly enough, there is hardly any work available in the domain of sports. Most sports oriented video games do not teach skills that can be later reused in the physical game environment and thus there are minimal benefits to the player's "real-world" performance. Performing key sports actions such as shooting a basketball or hitting a tennis ball are normally done via actions (like pressing keyboard buttons or swinging a game controller) that have little correspondence to the movement that needs to be performed in the game's physical environment. In this paper we advocate a new era where it is possible to play simulated sports games that are not only enjoyable and fun, but can also improve the athletic skills required for the real-world performance of that sport. We illustrate the possibility of this idea via state of the art inertial motion capture equipment. To highlight the key aspects of our approach we have developed a basketball video game where a player pantomimes dribbling and shooting in a virtual world with a virtual ball. Importantly, the virtual world of the game responds to a player's motions by simulating the complex physical interactions that occur during a physical game of basketball. For example, if a player attempts to score a basket, the simulated ball will leave the player's hand at the appropriate time with realistic force and velocity, as determined by motion capture and the physics system of the selected game platform. We explain how this game was developed and discuss technical details and obtained results. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
