All rights reserved.In this paper we report on the preliminary design of a rowing simulator to be integrated in a VR sport training system for rowing. The proposed simulator aims at bringing in an in-door location the specific features and situations of outdoor rowing, by means of an enhanced Virtual Environment (VE) that combines visual, haptic, acoustic flows to proprio- and exteroception of user status. This paper describes the experimental activities carried out on in-door rowing to characterize the main features of the stroke gesture, the design and analytical study of a fluidodynamic dissipator for force rendering and an overview of graphic simulation and of the overall system architecture.
