Like the example of modifying objects to address specific elements of training. Unusual application, uses outside of sports?
Better Learning with Shape-Shifting Objects
MIT News, Adam Conner-Simons
Shape-shifting objects that can help users improve their skills is an area of investigation for Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers, who conceived of a basketball hoop that trains players more effectively by shrinking and raising to help them make shots more consistently. Experiments demonstrated that training on the auto-adaptive hoop improved player performance more than using a static hoop or the manually-adaptive mode. Autodesk's Fraser Anderson said, "You don't have to rely on your own sense of whether or not you've mastered a skill: the system can do that and take out the self-doubt, overconfidence, or guesswork." ...
