I found a site through one of the google ads which was advertising software which is suppose to assist with aikido training. They claim to be able to demonstrate more than 100 aikido techniques with 360 degree viewing of the moves with or without the attacker.
For those interested in learning more about it, here's the excerp from their website Aikido3D.com on what you would be able to to with the software:
-----------------------------------------------------------
• Control and explore motion-captured Aikido in 3 Dimensions.
• Listen to Sensei’s step-by-step voice over for every technique!
• Learn about techniques’ name, meaning and points to consider.
• Control technique Playback speed from Slow-Motion to fast action.• Turn on Uke & Nage’s hip radials to watch their centers interact.
• Remove Uke's or Nage’s Hakamas for a better look at their footwork.
• 3 interactive cameras for frontal, top and action-following views.• Closely follow Nage’s footprints to study each technique’s footwork.
• Find your perfect viewing angle with 360 degree camera control.• Zoom in and out to change perspective on Uke-Nage interaction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
From what I've seen from the site, it appears to be a good way for people to familiarize themselves with the moves and concepts in aikido, however I would not take this software as a means of learning Aikido completely as the experience of a sensei and hands on training with an experienced akikai is alot different than from what you could learn off software.
On the other hand, experienced practitioners or people who simply want to know more about the techniques in aikido could benefit from it as a means of remembering techniques and learning the basics before choosing to enter seriously into aikido training.
