Patent number: 10398957Abstract: Pitching simulator systems and methods are provided that are used to predict real-life outcomes for a real-life pitch. Predicted real-lift outcomes can be outcomes such as a hit (e.g., groundout, double, home run, etc.), strikeout, etc., and can be made in real-time. More specifically, the systems and methods can identify pitch metrics corresponding to the real-life pitch, cross-reference data in the form of system performance metrics that can related to data about batters, fielders, and/or an environment, and then calculate a virtual pitched ball outcome based on a combination of the pitch metrics and the system performance metrics. Computer programs capable of being used in such systems and methods, as well as other systems and methods, are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: InMotion Systems, LLCInventors: Yury Altshuler, Michael Anthony Donfrancesco, Thomas George Stepsis

Patent number: 9597570Abstract: In response to detecting a user hitting a pitched ball, a batting simulator system is configured to provide data such as batting average, slugging percentage, and exit ball velocity and distance in real-time. Furthermore, the batting simulator system can both display a trajectory of the hit ball in a virtual stadium and provide the results of the ball hit (e.g., groundout, double, home run, etc.) in real-time. The batting simulator system can store and later output these results to the player to allow the player or a coach to identify hitting tendencies and optimize swing mechanics over the course of one hitting session or over an entire season.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2013Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: INMOTION SYSTEMS, LLCInventors: Yury Altshuler, Michael Anthony Donfrancesco, Thomas George Stepsis

Patent number: 6681629Abstract: Inertial trackers have been successfully applied to a wide range of head mounted display (HMD) applications including virtual environment training, VR gaming and even fixed-base vehicle simulation, in which they have gained widespread acceptance due to their superior resolution and low latency. Until now, inertial trackers have not been used in applications which require tracking motion relative to a moving platform, such as motion-base simulators, virtual environment trainers deployed on board ships, and live vehicular applications including helmet-mounted cueing systems and enhanced vision or situational awareness displays, to the invention enables the use of inertial head-tracking systems on-board moving platforms by computing the motion of a “tracking” Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) mounted on the HMD relative to a “reference” IMU rigidly attached to the moving platform.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2002Date of Patent: January 27, 2004Assignee: Intersense, Inc.Inventors: Eric Foxlin, Yury Altshuler
