Abstract

Recently, virtual reality（VR）has gained attention as a novel tool to support the improvement of athletes’ motor performance, such as that required in professional sports teams. Moreover, in the field of sports psychology, VR has also been used as an evaluation tool to investigate athletes’ anticipatory skills, which include anticipating future events（e.g., shot directions）from the opponents’ action or the ball trajectory. In this paper, we explain the features of visual information underpinning skilled anticipation, which were identified using VR technology. Through a research finding regarding baseball batting training using VR, we will further discuss VR training and its future direction.
