Foreword by Thomas A. Furness III
During the mid-80s there was rush of media exposure related to the Super Cockpit1 project I was working on at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. I was inundated by people out of the blue asking me about the possibility for applications of virtual interfaces beyond the military. One such individual was a golf pro from Australia. He wanted to create a better way to instruct novice golfers how to swing the golf club. He told me that he had tried everything. He started by saying to these novices, “watch me” and “do as I do” then demonstrating how to stand, hold the club and swing the club. He would show them videos of their own swings and point out corrections. He attempted to stand behind them as they were gripping the club…but the students still didn’t get it. Finally, in frustration he asked me, is there any way you can use this virtual interface stuff to put me inside the student…like a ghost. So that when the students wear a headset they see my arms and feet coming out of their own bodies and, in turn, just position their real feet, hands and club where I position and move mine in the ghost image.
