Abstract: A method and system for testing and improving a user's visual tracking skills and reaction time to a moving object includes simulating motion of an object by individually illuminating LEDs in longitudinal sequence along individually selectable paths having different positional approaches toward a target. A user activates a switch or interrupts a beam with the intent of terminating the sequence in time coincidence with illumination of a designated LED proximate the target. A microprocessor detects the time difference between illumination of the designated LED and termination of the sequence by the user as measure of the user's visual tracking and reaction time. In one embodiment the user is a baseball batter, the target is a home plate and the selectable paths are simulations of straight and breaking pitches.
