  • Patent number: 10661149
    Abstract: A mixed-reality sport simulation system includes a projectile-tracking sub-system to generate projectile-tracking data when a projectile is launched by a user, a near-eye display to display mixed-reality virtual objects displayed over physical objects within a field of view of a user representing lines of sight of the user, and a controller. The controller may direct the near-eye display to display a mixed-reality environment including virtual objects within the field of view. The near-eye display may provide an unobstructed real-world view for view vectors below a selected pitch angle and at least a portion of the mixed-reality environment for view vectors above a selected pitch angle. The controller may receive projectile-tracking data in real-time from the projectile-tracking sub-system and may direct the near-eye display to display one or more virtual objects representing a trajectory of the projectile within the mixed-reality environment in real-time based on the projectile-tracking data.

  • Patent number: 10646767
    Abstract: A mixed reality sport simulation and training system that can use, along with a user's existing standard sports equipment, a launch monitor to track the initial positional data, spin and acceleration of a sport object, and simulate the complete object path and location or use complete object tracking data and displays the actual object path and location. Mixed reality glasses allow the display of object tracking data over the real world view and/or an immersive display of a simulated world view, depending on the user's head or view position. Sport simulation graphical views can include various options, including simulated or panoramic photographic views of a sports field, court, etc., simulated graphics and data superimposed over a real world view, or simple object tracking data superimposed over a real world view at any location.

  • Patent number: 10525324
    Abstract: A mixed-reality kick simulation system includes a ball-tracking sub-system configured to generate ball tracking data when the ball is kicked by a user, a near-eye display configured to display mixed-reality virtual objects displayed over physical objects within a user field of view, and a controller. The near-eye display may include a user input device and one or more sensors to determine the field of view of the user defining view vectors representing lines of sight of the. The controller may direct the near-eye display to display a mixed-reality environment including virtual objects within at least a portion of the user field of view, receive ball tracking data of a ball kicked by the user in real-time from the ball-tracking sub-system, and direct the near-eye display to display a virtual object representing a trajectory of the ball within the mixed-reality environment in real-time based on the ball-tracking data.
