  • Visual background simulation
    Patent number: 9409095
    Abstract: A visual background simulation allowing a user to create a wave simulation. The visual background simulation is composed of a sheet with at least three sides laid out flat on a surface and attached to the surface on one side. A player takes hold of the portion of the sheet opposite the side attached to the surface and lifting their arm high in the air runs towards and eventually past the attached side. This allows the sheet to billow and catch the air. Once past the attached side, the player may lower their arm and trap the air in a “tube” formed by the sheet and the surface.
