Abstract: A sport performance evaluation method and system. The method includes storing a user-defined physical profile, displaying a set of images where each image in the set depicts a different variation of an element of imperfect sport performance, and selecting at least one image in the set most closely depicting an element of imperfect sport performance exhibited by a user who is associated with the user-defined physical profile. The method also includes diagnosing at least one cause for the imperfect sport performance based upon the stored at least one selected image and the stored user-defined physical profile. The system can include a user-defined physical profile and at least one set of images depicting an element of imperfect sport performance where each image in the set depicts a different variation of the element. The system can also include at least one data repository and at least one computing device.

Abstract: A learning system and method for visually displaying learning contents stored on a memory onto a display for facilitating easy learning by humans. The learning system and method being capable of causing a visual presentation to be displayed on a display screen for a predetermined period of time such as less than 0.2 second. The learning contents can be introduced at changing locations in a region of the visual presentation on the display screen. The visual presentation include, for example, a computer game, a television film, or a video game being displayed on the display screen.

Abstract: Educational play apparatus and system that enables preschool and primary education to be conducted while play is taking place, and that is equipped, by a plurality of gas globes (30) being housed within a play space (S) screened-off with a screen-off member (15), so that players (Y) may have fun capturing the gas globes (30) within the play space (S), wherein educational information is displayed on the surface of the gas globes (30). The players (Y) come into contact spontaneously with the educational information in the midst of playing games, reinforcing information given them up to that point through care workers, as well as imparting information to them while playing together with care workers, which serves naturally to improve knowledge acquirement and scholastic ability.

Abstract: In a VR motion producing apparatus and an apparatus, comprising: a reception unit for receiving a presently projected picture frame No. from a picture apparatus; a detection unit for detecting a frame No. of operation data of a motion base presently executed by a motion base; a difference unit for comparing the picture frame No. with the motion frame No. to calculate a difference between them; a calculation unit for calculating an operation velocity of a motion base so as to correct this difference value; and a synchronization unit for reducing the difference between the picture frame No. and the motion frame No.

Abstract: A method for developing an electronic course may include describing an illustrative scenario that presents a problem for a student of an electronically deliverable course. At least one possible role assignment for a corresponding student of the course may be defined based on the illustrative scenario. A task may be provided for the student based on the role assignment and the scenario. A guidance system may be established which is accessible to the students over the electronic communications network. The guidance system provides guidance for solving the task or problem associated with the scenario.

Abstract: The disclosed system and method for computer aided training and certification employs a central network for storing certification information and a plurality of training units. In preferred embodiments, the training units are individual systems comprising training software running on a turn-key based personal computer. An advantage of the invention is that the software is completely customized on each training unit to provide instruction using customized multi-media content, such as high quality digital video footage, taken of the trainee's specific job tasks and work site, as well as questions and instructional scripts customized for the job tasks and work site.

Abstract: The present invention includes an apparatus and a method for teaching relationships between numbers and how to perform certain types of mathematical operations. The system includes a television channel selection device, such as a remote control device with a visual display. The user selects a channel to view, and is presented with a mathematical problem involving the channel number. When the problem is correctly solved, the television switches to the selected channel. If an incorrect solution is entered, the user is given further opportunities to solve the problem before being prompted to a solution. The degree of difficulty of the problems can be adaptively adjusted, depending upon the accuracy of the user's answers.
