An educational device particularly for use as a ski trainer comprising a rig consisting of a baseboard on which a person under instruction stands on a pair of skis mounted on sensors arranged on the baseboard, the sensors being responsive to the weight, pressure, or movement of the person to produce output signals therefrom which are converted and computed in a data processing unit to provide a simulated trace of the weight, pressure or movement of the person or a simulated trajectory representing his skiing track on the screen of a visual display unit.

An educational electronic computerized simulator apparatus for visually providing the response of a person performing an activity that utilizes a force distribution applied by the person as a way of controlling the activity including pad means with at least one linear movement sensor responsive to the force applied by a person under instruction to generate output signals indicative of the degree of the force on said sensor by the person, and data processing means responsive to said output signals to generate, with the aid of algorithms, further signals that produce a simulated visual display of said activity on a visual display screen visible to said person under instruction represented as a function of the degree of force applied by the person on said sensor over a period of time and to produce a visual indication of an optimum performance of the activity represented as a function of the degree of force over the same time period so as to provide a visual indication to the person how closely his/her performance has approached the optimum performance. Wherein said data processing means includes algorithms that compute from the signals obtained from the at least one sensor, factors relating to the force, weight or movement applied by the person under instruction to different parts of the pad means and, that compute signals for the production of a visual display showing the variation of at least the said factors as a function of time such as to constitute a signature or visible indication of the person\s ability to perform the particular activity which is used to assess the person\s ability and to be compared with a signature of a reference performance.
