Abstract
A weight support device includes a sensor grid that measures pressure data while a user is on the weight support device. The weight support device is connected to a computer that analyzes the pressure data and generates a virtual figure to represent the user. Based on the pressure data, the computer determines how the user moves and adjusts relative positions of segments in the virtual figure that represent various body parts corresponding to the movements of the user. The relative positions of the segments may be determined based on a kinematic model. The virtual figure is presented on a display (e.g., in a video) to illustrate how the user moved.
