Online video tutorials have often been used for this training in familiar settings. However, video training lacks real-time feedback, affecting training efficacy in contrast with in-person training. In this paper, we propose WheelSkill, a prototype wheelchair training system combining motion capture and a training interface, providing real-time visual feedback based on the user?s skeletal motion. Eight wheelchair users and a wheelchair expert trainer were consulted in a pilot focus group and interview. Results highlight themes of human-centred design principles for wheelchair users for the final iteration of WheelSkills to assimilate for a high-fidelity wheelchair training feedback system. Finally, we discuss the benefits and limitations of WheelSkills and the adaptions planned for future works.
