  • Patent number: 8861091
    Abstract: Accurate simulation of sport to quantify and train performance constructs by employing sensing electronics for determining, in essentially real time, the player's three dimensional positional changes in three or more degrees of freedom (three dimensions); and computer controlled sport specific cuing that evokes or prompts sport specific responses from the player that are measured to provide meaningful indicia of performance. The sport specific cuing is characterized as a virtual opponent that is responsive to, and interactive with, the player in real time. The virtual opponent continually delivers and/or responds to stimuli to create realistic movement challenges for the player.

  • Patent number: 7864168
    Abstract: An interactive system tracks users in different physical spaces, both corresponding to a virtual space. The system resolves virtual collisions between the users in the virtual space. The system may resolve the virtual collision by examining the postures and power of the users. Different resolution criteria (“rules”) may be used for same-posture and different postures collisions.
