Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé comprenant une pluralité de détecteurs de mouvement le long du corps d'un premier utilisateur qui transmet des informations d'emplacement et de temps à un module de traitement, tandis que le premier utilisateur effectue un type de mouvement spécifique, le module de traitement générant des informations sur le mouvement du premier utilisateur, et comparant ces informations avec un second utilisateur qui met des détecteurs de mouvement le long de son corps et effectue le type de mouvement spécifique, transmettant de nouvelles données à un module de traitement correspondant. De façon avantageuse, les données de mouvement du premier utilisateur peuvent appartenir à un expert athlétique ou à un entraîneur étant donné que les mouvements par le second utilisateur peuvent être comparés à nouveau à un mouvement idéal ou parfait de l'expert ou de l'entraîneur.
