  • Patent number: 5249967
    Abstract: A video training device and method for enabling a student athlete to closely pattern his dynamic technique after that of a recognized master. The exemplary device includes a pair of video cameras that transmit live images of the student as seen from those directions that best represent the technique. A video overlay generator receives the live images and combines them, while still in their video signal format, with a corresponding set of self-generated template images that represent, in static outline form, the dynamic technique of the master in the desired sport situation. The combined sets of images are sent to a pair of visual monitors for simultaneous, superimposed display of each set on a respective screen. User-operated controls on the video overlay generator permit the static image on each screen to be adjusted in size, moved vertically or horizontally, or switched to a new static image representing a different sport situation.
