  • Patent number: 10495726
    Abstract: A portable virtual reality and/or augmented reality system enabling the projection and tracking of a user in a simulated environment is described. A system of motion capture cameras/sensors, computing, and tracking devices is provided in a portable package. Each tracking device is configured with one or more emitters which may generate a distinctive, repetitive pattern. The virtual reality and/or augmented reality system once assembled, provides for motion tracking and display of a one or more users in a simulated environment.

  • Publication number: 20170039881
    Abstract: Embodiments can use virtual reality (VR) for sports training according to embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, a VR model can be created from actual video of players. The VR model can be a spherical video. In this manner, players can be immersed in real situations, and thus the player can get more experience than the player otherwise would have had. Various technical features can be provided for enhancing such a system, e.g., synchronization of pointers on two screens, camera rigs with extended view to allow the camera rig to be placed further from a location of the players, analytics for rating players and controlling playback of a next play (action interval), and for allowing a user to feel translation while in a spherical video.
