  • Patent number: 11590393
    Abstract: The animation preparing device includes at least one processor. The processor acquires exercise data concerning an exercise done by a user or the exercise that the user is doing. In a case where there exists a plurality of causes for a characteristic point of the user that has been detected based on the acquired exercise data, the processor prepares, from the exercise data, a first user animation represented in a first direction of line of sight as an animation of the exercise done by the user or the exercise that the user is doing in order to indicate a first cause for the characteristic point, and prepares a second user animation represented in a second direction of line of sight that is separate from the first line of sight in order to indicate a second cause for the characteristic point that is separate from the first cause.
