Abstract: A virtual view system uses raw imagery from cameras placed around a sporting arena to generate virtual views of the sporting event from any contemplated view point. The system consists of an optical tracking system, a virtual environment server, and one or more virtual view stations. The optical tracking system receives raw, 2-dimensional video data from a pre-selected number of cameras strategically placed around a sporting arena. The raw 2-dimensional data is then compartmentalized into data gates and processed via a series of software image processors into body state data assigned to each sports player or other targeted entity. The body state data is then passed to a virtual environmental server which generates body position information and visual models for transfer to a selected number of virtual view stations. Each virtual view station includes viewing software for rendering and viewing a virtual sports scene as desired.

Abstract: A bicycle seat cover is provided which is adjustably inflatable by a bulb pump and two way pressure release valve. The bulb pump is positioned for easy access for inflation and deflation of a single chambered air bladder. The seat cover is removably attached to a bicycle saddle with hook and loop fasteners. The seat cover provides added comfort and cushion to the bicycle rider due to a quilted air bladder design and the increased surface area imparted to the bicycle's saddle. Materials contemplate use of a resilient anti-bacterial, water resistant. relatively thick polyurethane vinyl.
