  • Patent number: 11207581
    Abstract: A system for simulating a golf game is provided. The system includes a simulator containing a golf ball launch area and a display, a computer coupled to the simulator, and a motion monitor coupled to the computer and configured to track exercise activity of the user. The computer is configured to compute a trajectory of a simulated golf ball on a simulated golf course, compute a distance to a simulated golf ball landing position on the simulated golf course, display the computed distance to the simulated golf ball landing position on the display, simulate moving through the simulated golf course based at least in part on the exercise activity of the user, and update the computed distance to the simulated golf ball landing position based at least in part on the exercise activity of the user. Additional systems and methods are provided.

  • Patent number: 11033826
    Abstract: A sports simulator calculates the rotational and translational velocity of a sports object. The rotational velocity is calculated using image analysis. The translational velocity is calculated using image analysis and a set of emitters and sensors. The simulator then computes the future trajectory of the sports object based on the rotational and translational velocity. In one embodiment, the sports object is a golf ball and the sports simulator simulates golf.
