Abstract: Virtual reality has been applied to many areas such as education, art, entertainment, engineering, and sports simulation. Two case studies for sports simulation are presented here: the simulation of pattern design for group calisthenics and the simulation of the layout for group eurhythmics (art gymnastics). Virtual human technique is employed in both simulation systems. In case study 1, the authors studied group calisthenics training simulation to reduce rehearsal time. Several path-planning methods and a collision avoidance algorithm are presented. The new algorithm is simpler and more efficient than former methods. The system can help group calisthenics arrangement personnel improve designing quality and efficiency of transforming of alignment and pattern. In case study 2, the authors design and implement a simulation system for the group eurhythmics layout. It provides a direct and convenient method to train athletes for the eurhythmics team coaches. Experimental results illustrate the efficiency of the prototype systems.
