Abstract: Embodiments relate to a method for automatically evaluating a progression of a training exercise, including providing a plurality of location information for at least one movable object participating in the training exercise and providing at least one predetermined exercise target. The plurality of location information is compared to the exercise target and a progression of the training exercise is evaluated based on the result of the comparison.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to methods and apparatuses (200) for synchronizing a first event (202), having associated therewith a first original event timing value based on a common clock signal, and a second event (204), having associated therewith a second original event timing value based on the common clock signal, wherein the first and the second event (202; 204) experience different delays while travelling through different paths of a distributed computing system (300; 700), and wherein at least one output event (206) is to be determined by an event detector (208) based on the first and the second event (202; 204).

Abstract: A portable device includes a viewing direction sensor configured to determine the viewing direction of a user of the portable device in the real world and a position determiner configured to determine a position of the user in the real world. Furthermore, the portable device includes a processing unit configured to generate—based on the viewing direction of the user and the position of the user in the real world—a virtual world in which a change of the viewing direction in a 3D coordinate system of the real world leads to a change of the viewing direction in a 3D coordinate system of the virtual world. The portable device further includes a display configured to display the generated virtual world to the user while blocking a view of the real world.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting an event of interest, comprises a first primitive event detector (8b) for generating a stream of first primitive events (10b) using a sensor data stream (4), the sensor data stream (4) carrying raw data at a sensor data rate, the raw data being associated to one or more properties determined for multiple observed objects (72) using one or more sensors, wherein a data rate of the stream of first primitive events (10b) is lower than the sensor data rate as well as a second primitive event detector (8c) for generating a stream of different second primitive events (10c) using the sensor data stream (4), wherein a data rate of the stream of the second primitive events (10c) is lower than the sensor data rate. An event detector (16) is operable to determine the event of interest using the streams (10b, 10c) of the first and second primitive events.
