Abstract :
People who enjoy Devil Sticking, one form of juggling, are increasing in number. However, there is no well-established practice method to help the novice progress. This research uses a motion capture system to quantitatively determine the differences in stick handling techniques between experts and novices. Subjects´ body and stick movements are captured. The results indicate that the differences between experts and novices can be subjectively determined.
