Abstract: A virtual sports competition, competitor training, and judge training platform is disclosed. The virtual sports competition, competitor training, and judge training platform provides a virtual, remote, video-based and internet networked platform for sports, such as horse shows, ice skating and other non-conflict based activities to be achieved at different locations and times and still be judged/evaluated by a licensed official. The virtual sports competition, competitor training, and judge training platform reduces costs while ensuring equivalent access for many participants around the world and/or trainee judges seeking to gain credentials for certification.

Abstract: A method and system of selectively projecting images is disclosed. An illuminated area is created on a projection surface by directing a light source to the projection surface. The illuminated area is detected with a camera. Electrical signals are transmitted from the camera to the projector, the electrical signals being indicative of the position of the illuminated area in relation to the projection surface. Based on the received electrical signals, an image and a second image are projected on the projection surface. The image is projected on the illuminated area of the projection surface. The second image is projected on an area of the projection surface that is not illuminated by the light source. Applications of this method and system include the projection of background and foreground images creating the illusion of an x-ray beam, the projection of a normal image and an overblown image creating the illusion of a magnifying light beam.
