Abstract: The present invention is a method and system of determining and collecting data such as, location, weather, temperature, and time to users of a mobile devices. Mobile devices such as smart phones, tablets, internet computers, and other hand held mobile devices may be ideal for tracking historical data based upon a user's activities and previous locations. The affiliations are determined based upon travel of wearable devices as tracked by Internet services and activation of the system by the user. In one example, the user may tap the wearable device causing a software system to analyze data associated to locations and conditions visited by the user. Furthermore, the system may even be enhanced by use of features tailored to train the user on improving how they perform various hobbies such as fishing.

Abstract: A manipulation device is programmable with different parameters associated with different manipulation exercises for different types of simulated patients. A measuring system determines the success or failure for any of the programmable manipulation exercises and tracks specific results that precisely track how close a student comes to specific target force values. This allows a student to more accurately track performance improvements and more effectively focus practice sessions on problem manipulation techniques. The measurement system not only measures the time and force values associated with the manipulation exercises but also measures angular displacement of the manipulation apparatus during the manipulation exercise. This allows the student to not only determine if a proper amount of force was applied during the manipulation exercise but also to determine if the force was maintained in the same direction and angle.

The processing subsystem is further adapted to generate a display signal to cause the near-eye display to display the display indicator in the location.
