Sports training is used to provide instruction to users and/or improve the performance of users in various sports and bodily performance activities, including, but not limited to, ice hockey, soccer, football, baseball, basketball, lacrosse, tennis, running sports, martial arts, dance, theatrical performance, cycling, horseback riding, volleyball, automobile (drag racing, off road racing, open wheel Formula 1 racing, stock car racing), karting, karate, figure skating, snow skiing, golf, single- and multi-player augmented reality (AR) games, swimming, gymnastics, hunting, bowling, skateboarding, surfing, offshore racing, sailing, skateboarding, swimming, and wakeboarding. The users may be players, athletes, or trainees. Further, the users may be assisted by coaches and viewed by spectators.
In sports training, coaches use various techniques and specialized knowledge to guide athletes to improve their performance. These coaching techniques and knowledge are not generally susceptible to automation but must be carefully taught to coaches-in-training, then passed on from the coach to the trainee by observation and metered by skill and aptitude.
Athlete performance in any given sport requires the acquisition of highly specialized skills requiring consideration and fine tuning of numerous highly specific factors. For example, in skiing, the coach and athlete must consider center of gravity; lean angle; ski shape, curvature, and other characteristics; wax types and amounts; temperature, snow, and weather conditions; topographical layout of the ski run; and other factors. Each sport entails its own set of relevant factors, and the understanding of these factors is constantly changing over time. Coaches and athletes must constantly study and train to understand and control such factors to optimize their performance to remain competitive.
Currently, various technologies are used for providing training to users and/or improving the performance of users in the various sports and physical activities. These technologies may include sports simulators, audiovisual and computing technologies, multi-view recordings of professional athletes, and audiovisual aids for coaches and trainers to provide training for the users. Further, these technologies are used for relay of information in the field of the sports training and sports competition. For example, motion capture (mocap) devices are used to capture, analyze, and re-present athletic performance. Further, audio, visual, and motion sensors are used to capture the position, kinematics, orientation and real-time communication of the athletes on the field or in a controlled space, for the purpose of entertainment and training.
Further, helmets and other protective headgear are used in various sports. As an example, helmets are used in American football and automobile racing sports. For another example, protective headgear is used in martial arts and fighting sports. Further, the protective headgear along with trackers are used to determine a location of players on the sports field or to shoot a first-person video. However, such solutions are heavy and do not comply with regulations. For example, sports cameras mounted on helmets may resultantly fly off or collide with other athletes during practice.
Typically, a variety of technologies are used to create audiovisual experiences that overlay, augment, enhance, or temporarily replace the user's experience of physical reality. For example, current virtual reality (VR) technology involves stereoscopic headsets. Further, a variety of other devices—such as handheld controllers, tracking headgear, haptic garments, or wearable devices—are used in VR to create and provide physical, audio, and visual simulation. Technologies such as augmented reality (AR) or mixed reality use a combination of similar technologies—i.e., use of the user's sensory inputs along with visual overlays that blend with the physical world and stay synchronized.
Currently, various display technologies are used for VR and AR. VR and AR create varying degrees of immersion and realism. In VR, high refresh rate, high resolution, and precise head motion tracking are critical to avoiding dizziness, nausea, and other uncomfortable physical reactions in users. On the other hand, in AR, translucent and transparent screens of various shapes and sizes are used to provide imagery that is convincingly overlaid on physical reality. Further, VR and AR vary widely in the field of view they present. It should be noted that the human field of view exceeds 200 degrees. However, current display technologies fail to provide a full wraparound view. In AR, headgear is used to simulate holography, or creation of three-dimensional (3D) illusions that appear real in space. However, in AR, a narrow field of view causes overlays to be limited to users looking straight ahead or slightly to the side. Additionally, when an AR interface displays an image on a lens such as glasses, projected images formed are translucent to a degree and do not have the same color characteristics as actual images. It should be noted that techniques such as retinal image projection and eye position tracking increase the quality, comfort, fidelity, and immersiveness of both AR and VR technologies. However, such techniques have not been broadly deployed in a commercial context.
Communication technologies cover telephony using Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) technology and a variety of Video over Internet Protocol (IP) and Voice over IP (VoIP) technologies. Such communication technologies provide low-latency bidirectional audio or visual communication as long as underlying networks support low latency requirements. Further, such communication technologies require a selection of one or more parties to call and include a setup time. It should be noted that the connection may be negotiated through protocols such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) or Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). However, compatible protocols are less developed and standardized and, in some cases, do not yet exist for applications such as video conferencing, transmission of more than 2D videos (such as 3D conferencing or multi-position conferencing), or for conferencing conveying more than audiovisual data, such as fine-grained personal kinematic, positional data, or haptic data.
Various technologies suffer from one or more drawbacks, making them ineffective for high-fidelity capture and relay of athletic performance. For example, video has the drawback of shrinking and displaying athletic examples in an altered size and orientation, and aligning high-resolution cameras can be costly and labor intensive. As another example, motion capture devices are either too coarse in target capture range or require instrumenting an athlete in a way that obstructs natural performance. Further, helmets or headgear outfitted with aftermarket cameras for capturing team activities can be cost-prohibitive, and such equipment is bulky when worn.
Current virtual reality technology suffers from drawbacks in the training of athletes in that it often provides a poor simulation of the sport being modeled. Current haptic devices and range-of-motion apparatus for sports simulation fail to effectively replicate the physical perceptions and conditions of a sport, preventing the development of authentic muscle memory in training.

The plurality of sensors 102 may be configured to sense or record motion of users on a sports field. In one embodiment, the plurality of sensors 102 may detect the position of the users on the sports field with millimeter accuracy, and detect motion of the users with sub-millisecond temporal accuracy. The plurality of sensors 102 may be integrated with the helmet 116 and/or the wearable glasses 118. Further, the plurality of sensors 102 may be stitched to clothes of the users, e.g., using a hook-and-loop mechanism. The plurality of sensors 102 may include, but is not limited to, geomagnetic sensors, acceleration sensors, tilt sensors, gyroscopic sensors, biometric information sensors, altitude sensors, atmospheric pressure sensors, eyeball-tracking sensors, neuron sensors, and position sensors. The users may be athletes, players, and/or trainees. The sports field may include, but is not limited to, a soccer field, an American football field, a basketball court, a tennis court, a volleyball court, or a Formula 1 racing track. It should be noted that the above-mentioned sports fields have been provided for illustration purposes, and should not be considered limiting.
The one or more cameras 104 may be configured to capture data related to the sports field. The one or more cameras 104 may be positioned around various locations of the sports field. The data may correspond to visual data and/or positional data of the users. The one or more cameras 104 may include light field cameras (i.e., plenoptic cameras) 126, tracking cameras 128, wide angle cameras 130, and/or 360-degree cameras 132.
In one embodiment, the light field cameras 126 and the tracking cameras 128 may be configured to capture information related to the users in the sports field. For example, a tracking camera 128 may be disposed on the helmet 116 of a player. The tracking camera 128 may track a particular player on the sports field. Further, the tracking camera 128 may be used to capture each and every activity related to the player on the sports field. It should be noted that the tracking cameras 128 may correspond to robotically aimed or operated cameras. The wide angle cameras 130 may provide a wide field of view for capturing images and/or videos of the users in the sports field—e.g., GoPro® cameras. The 360-degree cameras 132 may provide a 360-degree field of view in a horizontal plane, or with a larger visual field coverage. In at least one embodiment, the 360-degree cameras 132 may be positioned in the middle on the edges of the sports field. In other embodiments, the 360-degree cameras 132 may be positioned on one or more vehicles, such as racecars, operating on the sports field. The 360-degree cameras 132 may be referred to as omnidirectional cameras. It should be noted that the above-mentioned cameras 104 have been provided only for illustration purposes. The system environment 100 may include other cameras as well, without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
The lidar 106 may be used to track players or objects on the sports field. For example, the objects may be bats, balls, sticks, clubs, rackets, or hockey pucks. Further, the microwave transceivers 108 may be used to capture data related to the players' motion on a sports field or in an enclosed space. In one embodiment, the microwave transceivers 108 may use millimeter waves in the 30-300 GHz frequency range. It should be noted that microwaves may be replaced or augmented by ultrasonic audio frequency waves. Further, triangulation devices 110 may be used to capture data related to the players (e.g., outside-in tracking). In an example, the players may be located using the triangulation devices 110. In at least one embodiment, the system environment 100 may include IR emitters 112 that may act as a source of light energy in the infrared spectrum. For example, in a virtual reality (VR) positioning technique, the IR emitters 112 may be positioned on a player to be tracked. In another example, the IR emitters 112 may be positioned on the edges of the sports field. Further, the structured light emitters 114 may be used to illuminate a scene with patterns of visible or non-visible light that may be detected by the one or more cameras 104.
Further, a player or an object may be tracked using visual processing and object identification of one or more continuous video images using computer vision algorithms that are well known in the art (e.g., inside-out tracking). Such techniques may be used to implement six-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) tracking of players in free space. In one embodiment, a continuous and seamless visual representation of a particular feature—such as a player or an object on a sports field—may be created. The feature on the sports field may be tracked by any of the above-mentioned techniques. Further, a location of the feature may be fed into a video control system. The video control system may create a single and continuous output video showing a perspective of the tracked object. For example, a dozen cameras may be placed along sides of a hockey rink for tracking a player. The player may be tracked continuously, and a video of the player may shift from one camera to another camera. It should be noted that the shifting may be based on which camera provides the best perspective of the tracked player and movements of the player. Further, a visual system may use high-resolution imagery, perform zooming and cropping of images, and transition smoothly from the image of one camera to another camera by stitching the overlapping images together in a seamless blend, producing one frame stitched together from multiple cameras views of the same target.
Further, the images captured may be rendered to a virtual three-dimensional (3D) space, adjusted to match, and recombined. In one embodiment, for camera equipment that may be steered, re-focused, and/or zoomed, a system may provide real-time feedback to a steerable camera to focus on the feature to be targeted, to point at the target, or to adjust exposure or frame rate of video for capturing the target with high fidelity. Further, the frame rate of a camera near the target may be increased, and a camera on the other end of a court, rink, or field where no action is happening may switch to a lower frame rate, use a telephoto zoom, and/or change direction to look across the court, rink, or field to where the action is happening.
It should be noted that the zoom, focus, and exposure feature may be implemented in post-processing or by a software method, using footage captured with sufficient resolution, high dynamic range, or light field technology so that such aspects may be adjusted after capture. In some embodiments, a set of cameras around the court, rink, or field may create an effect where a single camera is following a player as each camera “hands off” the image capture to another camera, but starting from a zoomed in or cropped perspective and then switching to a proper size. In other embodiments, background aspects of the images and foreground tracked target may be filled in by the one or more cameras 104 and the information may be composited. In one embodiment, a player may traverse the whole field in any direction, and it may appear that the player has been closely followed by a mobile steadicam operator. It should be noted that the image may be a composite of stationary images.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the above-mentioned techniques used for 6DoF have been provided only for illustration purposes. In other embodiments, the techniques may be used for three degrees of freedom (3DoF) without departing from the scope of the disclosure.

In some embodiments (
In one embodiment, the dancer 1000 may move around a room if the one or more dance steps 1002 are projected on the wall of the room. In an alternate embodiment, if the one or more dance steps 1002 or images are projected on the far screens, then the dancer 1000 may view the one or more dance steps 1002. It should be noted that each direction the dancer 1000 looks may show a different view, such as left, right, front, above, and below—the point of view changes accordingly.
At step 1102, a video of a dance routine may be received. In one embodiment, the video may correspond to the dance routine of a dancer.
At step 1104, the video is analyzed to determine one or more movements of the dancer in a physical space. At step 1106, one or more key changes in the one or more movements of the dancer represented in the video may be extracted. In one embodiment, direction of the dancer in the physical space may be extracted.
At step 1108, a set of key frames may be created based at least on the one or more key changes in the one or more movements that are extracted from the video. The one or more key changes may be detected by a significant change in direction, position, or velocity. In one embodiment, short clips or animated images in the form of “key frames” or “key instants” may be created for each of the key changes.
At step 1110, 3D AR renders of the set of frames may be created. It should be noted that the 3D AR renders may be created for one or more key changes of movement of the dancer.
At step 1112, video and/or 3D clips may be delivered on the display of the wearable glasses 118. At step 1114, a next key change in dance steps may be rendered. The rendering of the key changes may be performed once a user completes a first key change. In one embodiment, the first key change may correspond to a past key change.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the above-mentioned flowchart 1100 may be applicable to other sports, such as American football, as well, without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
It should be noted that the gantry 1204A may be substituted with a movable crane or some other machine without departing from the scope of the disclosure. In other embodiments, the gantry may be used to simulate other athletic conditions. For instance, the gantry 1204A can be used to practice weightlessness and can be used to practice landing while parachuting, by providing the same real-time dynamic counterbalancing to the user's own motion as would be experienced in these environments.
The mocap suit 120 may capture information related to the athlete's skeletal kinematics at one or more times (i.e., timecodes). In an example, the timecodes may be Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) timecode. It should be noted that the SMPTE timecode may be a set of cooperating standards to label individual frames of the video and/or images with a timecode. The information may include muscular turns and/or positional movements of the athlete 1300. In one embodiment, the mocap suit 120 may be coupled to the helmet 116 in a wired manner. In another embodiment, the mocap suit 120 may be wirelessly connected to the helmet 116. After capturing the information, the information may be synchronized using a clock sync transmitter or a time synchronization module. In an example, the timecode at 30 frames per second or even 60 frames per second may be too coarse. In some embodiments, the timecodes may be highly granular, with a resolution as fine as milliseconds (such as 100 Hz) down to hundredths of a nanosecond.
Successively, the helmet 116 may receive the information along with the timecodes from the mocap suit 120. Thereafter, the helmet 116 may transmit the information to a computing device of the coach in real time or near real time. The coach may be able to review body movements of the athlete 1300. In some embodiments, the mocap suit 120 may include haptic feedback for sports training. The mocap suit 120 integrated with the haptic feedback may be referred to as “HoloSuit.” The computing device may be any of a number of devices, including but not limited to a desktop, a computer server, a laptop, a PDA, or a tablet computer. It should be noted that the above-mentioned technologies for the detection of the body's position have been provided only for illustrative purposes and that other techniques can be used as well. The mocap suit 120 may include other technology as well, without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
In general, an athlete playing a sport is exerting forces and expending energy in certain patterns that produce the most efficacious results in the sport. Accordingly, in some embodiments of the present invention, the system makes use of one or more models of the physical application of force by the athlete, and thus measures the performance of the athlete for comparison against a defined ideal force pattern. This modeling may include the forces applied to and transmitted through implements including, but not limited to, baseball bats, baseballs, soccer balls, footballs, golf balls, skis, bicycles, tennis rackets, gymnastics equipment, etc. One or more pre-defined models may be applied to the system by the central processor. Additionally, some embodiments may use machine learning to infer or tune physical models for the athlete, the implements of the game, or the surrounding world.
In one embodiment, one or more pressure sensors 1308 may be fitted to the feet of the athlete 1302 for measuring one or more parameters related to running or walking form, such as foot landing, cadence, and time on the ground. In some embodiments, a sole 1310 may be used by an athlete in shoes, for measuring pressure in arch, insole, toes, and/or heel. Alternatively, the suit 1304 may be stitched with the plurality of sensors 102 at each one of the articulation points. In another embodiment, the plurality of sensors 102 may be attached using a Velcro® hook-and-loop fabric fastener. Further, the plurality of sensors 102 may sense the information related to the athlete's skeletal kinematics at one or more times (i.e., timecodes).
After capturing the information, the information may be synchronized using a clock sync transmitter or a time synchronization module. Further, the plurality of sensors 102, the pressure sensor 1308, and the sole 1310 may transmit the information to the helmet 116. It should be noted that the plurality of sensors 102, the pressure sensor 1308, and the sole 1310 may be wirelessly connected with the helmet 116. In one embodiment, the helmet 116 may establish wired communication with the plurality of sensors 102 disposed at the one or more articulation points. Further, the helmet 116 may sense the momentary positions of the plurality of sensors 102 disposed at the one or more articulation points using a radio or audio frequency wave. Thereafter, the helmet 116 may process the information for training the users. It should be noted that triangulation may be used to capture correct data at each articulation point. In some embodiments, three or more ultrasound transceivers may be integrated on the helmet 116 for the triangulation. Further, the ultrasound transceivers may transmit a signal to each one of the articulation points of the body. In one embodiment, active ultrasound transceivers at each articulation point may allow each articulation point to respond with a packet of data to the helmet 116 to assist in improving location accuracy. In other embodiments, the plurality of sensors 102 at each articulation point may need to be active for best accuracy, or it may be possible to achieve sufficient precision with passive reflectors. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that none of these variations, or other similar variations, depart from the scope of the disclosure.
In other embodiments, a single RF receiver may be integrated on the helmet 116 (for example, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi) and may have a device on each of the articulation points tracking a relative position and transmitting the tracked position information to the helmet 116. It should be noted that above-mentioned methods may require some sort of “zeroing” to a reference body position for relative measurements. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the above-mentioned timecode has been provided only for illustrative purposes. In other embodiments, some other timecodes may be used without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
In one embodiment, one or more pressure sensor 1308 may be fitted to the feet of the athlete 1302 for measuring one or more parameters related to running or walking form, such as foot landing, cadence, and time on the ground. In some embodiments, a sole 1310 may be used by an athlete in shoes, for measuring pressure in arch, insole, toes, and/or heel.

In another embodiment, the plurality of sensors 102 may be attached using a Velcro® hook-and-loop fabric fastener. Further, the plurality of sensors 102 may sense the information related to the athlete's skeletal kinematics at one or more times (i.e., timecodes).
After capturing the information, the information may be synchronized using a clock sync transmitter or a time synchronization module. Further, the plurality of sensors 102, the pressure sensor 1308, and the sole 1310 may transmit the information to headwear 117, which may be any form of headwear including, but not limited to, a hat, headband, etc. It should be noted that the plurality of sensors 102, the pressure sensor 1308, and the sole 1310 may be wirelessly connected with the headwear 117. In one embodiment, the headwear 117 may establish wired communication with the plurality of sensors 102 disposed at the one or more articulation points. Further, the headwear 117 may sense the momentary positions of the plurality of sensors 102 disposed at the one or more articulation points using a radio or audio frequency wave. Thereafter, the headwear 117 may process the information for training the users. It should be noted that triangulation may be used to capture correct data at each articulation point. In some embodiments, three or more ultrasound transceivers may be integrated on the headwear 117 for the triangulation. Further, the ultrasound transceivers may transmit a signal to each one of the articulation points of the body. In one embodiment, active ultrasound transceivers at each articulation point may allow each articulation point to respond with a packet of data to the headwear 117 to assist in improving location accuracy. In other embodiments, the plurality of sensors 102 at each articulation point may need to be active for best accuracy, or it may be possible to achieve sufficient precision with passive reflectors. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that none of these variations, or other similar variations, depart from the scope of the disclosure.
In other embodiments, a single RF receiver may be integrated on the headwear 117 (for example, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi) and may have a device on each of the articulation points tracking a relative position and transmitting the tracked position information to the headwear 117. It should be noted that above-mentioned methods may require some sort of “zeroing” to a reference body position for relative measurements. It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the above-mentioned timecode has been provided only for illustrative purposes. In other embodiments, some other timecodes may be used without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
In other embodiments, the coach 1404 may communicate with a plurality of players through the network 124, as shown in
Further, the plurality of hunters may be wearing the wearable glasses 118 for hunting. In one embodiment, the first hunter 1702 may view the locations and movements of the second hunter 1704 and the third hunter 1706 on an interface 1714 of the wearable glasses 118, as shown in
In another embodiment, the coach 1806 may wear the helmet 116 integrated with directional headphones 1814. Further, the coach 1806 may communicate with the driver of the vehicle 1802, as shown in
In some embodiments, data captured may be time-synchronized with the vehicle 1802 information, such as revolutions per minute (RPM), angular position of the steering wheel and steering equipment, traction control sensors, brakes, shifter, clutch, and/or gas/throttle. Further, one or more cameras on the vehicle 1802 may record the vehicle on the racetrack 1800 and may be used with an overview of the racetrack 1800 to precisely locate the vehicle 1802 after the fact and archive the vehicle position lines by holographic (“Holocode”) timecode, without departing from the scope of the disclosure. In an alternate embodiment, the vehicle 1802 may have a chaser drone that follows the lap.
It should be noted that the driver may want to familiarize himself or herself and do a guided tour around the racetrack 1800. At first, the driver may walk the racetrack 1800 while wearing camera-equipped AR glasses or using tablet 1810, to become familiar with the surroundings, elevation changes, camber, temperature changes, and texture which affects tire grip of the racetrack 1800. In one embodiment, the driver may sit before the race quietly and review every corner in his or her mind by reviewing the recording made by the AR glasses or tablet 1810 and replaying it. Successively, the driver may mentally generate and commit to memory the quickest line of approach and exit for each turn of the racetrack and create a rough “line” 1800 by drawing it on tablet 1810. Further, using tablet 1810 before a drive, the driver may mark places on the racetrack 1800 at which to apply brakes, accelerate, and turn. Subsequently, the driver may drive the racetrack 1800, and may select one of the pre-drawn lines through the AR interface, and attempt to follow it while driving. The driver may select braking points or increase speed when entering and exiting the corners for testing purposes, and the vehicle 1802 will automatically store these driver choices to be recorded and displayed by the tablet or AR system. Further, over time, if the surface temperature of the racetrack 1800 changes, or the wind changes, or the vehicles 1802 on the racetrack 1800 affect whether the driver can follow the optimal line, or rubber is deposited onto the racetrack 1800, “grooving in” the track, affecting stiction, which further affects the profile of the racetrack 1800, and/or bits of tire form into small bead shapes (“marbles”) that cover portions of the racetrack 1800, the system may automatically modify the stored lines based on a stored database of track condition influencing factors, to indicate to the driver that the conditions of the track have changed and display a corrected track and allow the driver to follow the corrected track. The parameters to include in this automatic stored lines are configurable, so that one or more parameters can be included or not depending on user preference. In one embodiment, the system may automatically alter the path based on selected algorithms relating to time of day, weather, track condition, the vehicle's tire condition (i.e., soft, medium, or hard compound tires), amount of fuel, and marble level of existing track. Thereafter, the system may modify the master splicing.
Further, the driver may learn where to position on each lap and may practice for multiple laps, creating either with the tablet or by driving, different lines for each lap. It should be noted that the system may allow the driver to more tightly implement rehearsed lines. At first, the driver may drive on the racetrack 1800 numerous times to determine optimal lines and to record or identify these lines for onscreen display by the AR system. Successively, the driver may bookmark and select the best versions of each successive turn, each braking point for each turn, each acceleration point at each turn, each shift point through a curve, each line through a curve, and recombine all elements of the lap for practice and training. Successively, the driver may create a master combination of optimal lap selections for various weather conditions, temperatures, and other variables. These selections may be made on the tablet 1810 or while driving using voice in conjunction with the AR interface.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the above-mentioned techniques and methodology may be applicable to other sports, such as figure skating, bicycle, go-carts, alpine skiing, aerials/freestyle, and/or dancing, as well, without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Likewise, additional details of a helmet and system that may be utilized with the described embodiments are discussed further below with respect to
As shown in
The plurality of cameras 2004 may be fish-eye cameras, 180-degree cameras, and/or 360-degree cameras. The plurality of cameras 2004 may locate each other through one or more techniques, such as clock sync, infrared, and or triangulation. Further, the plurality of cameras 2004 may use sub-millimeter co-positioning in recomposing 3D imagery of what happens in the practice room 2000. Further, the plurality of cameras 2004 may passively and continuously capture what is happening in the practice room 2000. Further, the one or more front projectors 2010 and the one or more rear projectors 2012 may be used to display or replay images captured by the plurality of cameras 2004. Alternatively, the one or more front projectors 2010 and the one or more rear projectors 2012 may project a simulated sports environment and may show a simulated pitcher to increase the realism of the simulation for the athlete. It should be noted that the one or more rear projectors 2012 may be positioned behind screens in a rear-projection configuration.
Further, the practice room 2000 may include a change extractor engine on a side wall, which analyzes changes between what the athlete is attempting to do and what the athlete has actually done. The change extractor engine may store key frames at one or more portions of an activity in the practice room 2000 for review. Further, the change extractor engine may show an ideal motion and an actual motion of the athlete. Further, a hand-wave interface and a physical button interface, may reproject what is happening on large screens in the practice room 2000, behind one or more mirrors, in AR or VR.
In some embodiments, one or more motion sensors may be attached at one or more articulation points of the athlete. The one or more articulation points may be arms, knee, and/or elbows. The athlete may wear the mocap suit 120 for recording body movements. In an example, an athlete 2014 holding a baseball bat 2016, may practice with a virtual ball 2018 in the practice room 2000 of
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that one or more motion sensors may be attached to various components, such as a physical ball, bat, and/or racket, to capture movements of the various components. Further, the practice room 2000 may include structured light emitters or IR emitters as well, without departing from the scope of the disclosure. It should be noted that the curved screen may be surrounded with rear projectors showing an immersive image of contiguous images stitched seamlessly together, and may be surrounded by a plurality of speakers (i.e., multi-point speakers).
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that such a scenario of the batting cage 2024 may be applicable to other sports, such as American football, baseball, golf, soccer, hockey, cricket and/or other sports, without departing from the scope of the disclosure. In such embodiments, a virtual image of the relevant opponent, such as a pitcher, server, catcher, tackle, goalie or other opponent may be projected in holographic form. The holographic opponent may be rendered such that the automatically pitched ball, puck or other item of play appears to have been delivered by the virtual opponent.
As shown in
As an example, a first player 2212 holding a football 2214, may detect a position and orientation of a second player 2216 using the positional tracker 2208. It should be noted that each one of the two or three players may share the far-field projected display with 3D shutter glass frequency offsets—e.g., 60 frames per second, 90 frames per second, 120 frames per second, 180 frames per second, 240 frames per second, or any integer or a fractional multiple of a single player's frame rate. In some embodiments, the helmet 116 may be integrated with gaze-tracking technology to identify where the first player 2212 is actually looking.
It should be noted that a focal depth of eye view may be used to render the view with the images in focus for the viewer. The direction of a player's eyes may further be used to aim, focus, adjust exposure, adjust cropping, and adjust compression rates for the objects the player is looking at. Further, the gaze and direction of gaze may be captured for the player at a very high frequency. The direction of the gaze for the player and a zone showing the direction of the gaze may be displayed to a coach. The coach may indicate to a player, or a computer program may indicate to a player automatically, where the gaze should be focused. Further, areas of the image may be colored distinctively or lit up for the player so that the player is reminded of where to look at that point in the game or action. For instance, a player may be trained to look far afield, nearby, to keep the eyes on the ball, or to maintain a sight of the ball at the beginning of and throughout a play. It should be noted that the system may continue to remind a player where the player should be looking to implement training desired by the coach.
Further, additional imagery may be projected in different color frequencies, polarization, or blanking intervals, which can only be viewed by a particular viewer by having the wearable glasses 118 tune to the frequency for detecting or re-rendering in a frequency viewable to the player. The net result of the illusion is that all users may share the same space and view the same far-field images and may see the shared images customized to the view, both in the wearable glasses 118 worn by the players and on the walls.
In an embodiment, the wearable glasses 118 track the direction, vergence, dilation, and thus focal depth of the user. This information is used to determine where and how far the user is looking. This information is further used to re-render the images displayed using the wearable glasses so that near field, mid field and far field images are properly focused or unfocused to simulate their correct depth with respect to the user. Similarly, images in the far-field are properly focused so as to simulate their correct depth to the user. This user eye information is tracked in real-time, dynamically, so that the images can be similarly altered in real-time and dynamically to look to the user as though they are simply focusing on different parts of the image. In an embodiment, the direction of the user's eyes is used to dynamically increase or decrease the resolution, rendering quality, compression rate, data size, and clipping region for portions of the image based on their viewability and focal relevance to the user. For instance, areas of the field not being viewed by the user may be rendered in low resolution, or low amounts of data bandwidth can be used to transmit information about this. In another embodiment, elements of a scene are logically or semantically analyzed for relevance to the user, and based on this analysis, the resolution, rendering quality, compression rate, data size, and clipping region can be adjusted. For instance, it could be determined that coaches who are off-court can be rendered in very low resolution while other opponents need to be rendered in higher resolution, especially those directly interacting or with the potential to interact with the player.
At first, a coach may feed in Super Bowl footage, at step 2302. The Super Bowl footage may be viewed on a tablet. Successively, one or more kinematics of each player may be extracted and processed, at step 2304. In one embodiment, the one or more kinematics may include body movements, position, and orientation of each player. Successively, position and movement of each player on a sports field may be extracted, at step 2306. Successively, a play may be created with an AI, at step 2308. Thereafter, the play may be rendered, at step 2310.
The room 2600 may include a plurality of cameras 2604. Further, the player 2602 wearing wearable glasses 118, may play soccer. In one embodiment, when the player 2602 kicks a football 2606, the football 2606 may be tracked, at step 2702. Successively, a goal 2608 may be evaluated, at step 2704. Successively, a path of the football 2606 may be analyzed, at step 2706. Based at least on the analysis, if the path of the football 2606 is not blocked by virtual opponents, then the football 2606 will be rendered for view by the player at step 2708. If the path of the football 2606 is blocked by the virtual opponents, then rendering of the football 2606 is blocked at step 2710. The rendering of the football 2606 can be either in the AR glasses or the more distant screen. This determination is made at step 2712. If the football 2606 is close to the player 2602 e.g. within the visual display range of the AR glasses, then it is displayed on the AR screen. If the football is farther than the visual display range of the AR glasses, then the football 2606 may be displayed on a screen, at step 2714. 118, at step 2716. It should be noted that the player 2602 may view a graphic indicating the trajectory of the football 2606 on the AR interface of the wearable glasses 118.
As shown in
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that a single coach 2802 has been shown for illustration purposes. In some embodiments, more than one coach may send messages to the players in real time, without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
In one embodiment, an audience 3114 may wear the wearable glasses 118 for watching the play. Further, a set of the live stage show 3100 may have one or more rear-projection screens 3116. In one embodiment, the one or more rear-projection screens 3116 may be a circular screen. In an example, the circular screen may be a 270-degree screen. It should be noted that imagery may be stitched together on the circular screen for the audience 3114 to create sets and costumes for the performers 3102. In an example, one or more images of the performer 3102 wearing “green screen” clothes may be projected on the circular screen or an AR interface of the audience 3114. Further, the one or more images may be customized to the audience 3114. For example, the audience 3114 may select different costumes for the performers 3102. Further, such a method may allow correction of lip-syncing for the real-time or pre-recorded translations of the play. It should be noted that such a method may be effective for the performers 3102 while performing on the stage 3104.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that acting and recordings or acting of real actors may be blended with prerecorded non-player characters (NPC), who also interact with the actors according to the AR, thus improving the AR actors.
As discussed above, the disclosed embodiments may include one or more of a helmet with one or more input/output components, such as cameras, microphones, speakers, etc. Likewise, while the above embodiments refer mostly to wearable glasses, it will be appreciated that any form of virtual and/or augmented reality device or feature may be utilized and the disclosed embodiments are not limited to wearable glasses. For example, as discussed below, information may be projected, reflected, and/or presented on a translucent or transparent display that is in the field of view of the user, athlete, coach, driver, etc.
In the example illustrated in
Still further, while the described embodiments focus primarily on imaging elements included in the shell of the helmet, in other implementations one or more other forms of sensors may be included in the shell of the helmet in a similar manner. Other sensors include, but are not limited to infrared (“IR”) sensors, Sound Navigation and Ranging (“SONAR”) sensors, Light Detection and Ranging (“LIDAR”) sensors, structured light sensors, etc. In some embodiments, information obtained from sensor data can be combined with information obtained from other sensors to construct a complete visual or motion view of a driver.
The helmet 3416 may be communicatively coupled to one or more computing devices 3452 that are separate from the helmet. The computing devices 3452 may be local to the vehicle in which the driver 3400 is positioned and/or operating, referred to herein as in-vehicle computing devices, or the computing devices may be remote from the vehicle, referred to herein as remote computing devices. In-vehicle computing devices may be attached to the suit 3420 worn by the driver (e.g., clipped to the suit or incorporated into the suit), placed, or affixed to a portion of the vehicle, etc. The in-vehicle computing device 3452 may be a special purpose in-vehicle computing device designed to communicate with the helmet 3416 and, optionally, other components such as the suit 3420, the vehicle, etc. In other examples, the in-vehicle computing device may be any other form of computing device that is capable of receiving data from the helmet and/or providing data to the helmet 3416. For example, the in-vehicle computing device 3452 may be a laptop, cellular phone, tablet, wearable, etc.
In examples in which the helmet 3416 communicates with an in-vehicle computing device 3452, the communication may be wired or wireless. For example, a wired connection 3450 may exist between the in-vehicle computing device 3452 and the helmet 3416. To allow the driver to quickly exit the vehicle, in some embodiments, the wired connection 3450 may be detachably connected to the helmet 3416 at a connecting point 3451. The connecting point may be a clasp, a magnetic coupling, etc. Regardless of the configuration of the connecting point 3451, in operation the connecting point may be designed to allow separation between the wired connection 3450 and the helmet 3416 when a first force is applied, such as a driver exiting the vehicle, but remain attached when forces less than the first force are applied (e.g., forces from the driver moving their head), etc.
The wired connection 3450 may be used to provide power to the helmet 3416 provided by or through the in-vehicle computing device 3452 and/or provided by a power supply 3453 that is separate from the in-vehicle computing device 3452, provide data from the in-vehicle computing device 3452 to the helmet 3416 and/or provide data from the from the helmet 3416 to the in-vehicle computing device. Data provided from the in-vehicle computing device 3452 may include, but is not limited to, vehicle data, driver data, event data, etc. Vehicle data includes, but is not limited to tachometer, oil pressure, oil temperature, water temperature, battery voltage, battery amperage, fuel available/remaining, gear selection, warning standard setting changes, turbo or supercharger boost, fuel pressure, traction control, electric boost, speed, revolutions per minute (“rpm”), etc. Driver data, which may be obtained from the mocap suit 3420 and/or determined based on a processing of gaze tracking data corresponding to the driver (discussed further below), includes but is not limited to, heartrate, blood pressure, stress level, fatigue, temperature, etc. Event data, which may be obtained from one or more remote computing resources, may include, but is not limed to, pace, fastest lap, slowest lap, accidents, laps remaining, etc. In other examples, some or all of the communication and/or power may be wirelessly provided between the in-vehicle communication device 3452, the power supply 3453, and the helmet 3416.
In addition to providing power and/or data exchange with the helmet 3416, the in-vehicle computing device 3452 may also provide a wireless communication with one or more remote computing devices, as discussed further below with respect to
As discussed above, the mocap suit 3420, which in this example includes pants 3420-1, shoes 3420-2, shirt or jacket 3420-3, and gloves 3420-4, may include one or more sensors 3435-1, 3435-2, 3435-3, 3435-4, 3435-5 to measure different aspects of the driver. For example, as discussed above, the mocap suit 3420 may measure the driver's body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, knee pressure, foot pressure, forces applied to the driver (e.g., gravitational forces acting on the driver), hand/finger pressure, elbow pressure, body positions, etc. In other examples, one or more of the sensors 3435 may include an imaging element, such as a camera that collects visual data about the driver. For example, the sensor 3435-5 positioned on the shoe 3420-2 of the driver may be oriented upward toward the body of the driver and collect imaging data of the body of the driver. Data collected by sensors of the mocap suit 3420 may be provided to the helmet 3416, to the in-vehicle computing device 3452 and/or to one or more remote computing devices. For example, image data from downward facing imaging elements 3434 included in the helmet 3416 may be combined with position sensor data and/or image data collected by one or more sensors of the mocap suit 3420 to determine the position and/or forces applied to the body of the driver.
The ferrule 3533 may also include an opening 3536 or hole in the back through which one or more wires may pass from the lens and/or sensor 3534-1. As discussed below, wires connecting components included the helmet 3516 may be routed through the helmet to a connection point, as discussed further below. The wires may be fabricated into the shell of the helmet, for new helmets, or secured along the inner and/or outer surface of the helmet 3516. For example, the wires may be secured along the inner surface of the shell of the helmet between the shell of the helmet and inner liner of the helmet.
As discussed, the imaging elements, such as the lens and/or sensors may be small enough to be positioned anywhere on the helmet without altering the safety to the driver or the structural integrity of the helmet. In the example illustrated in
In the illustrated example, the helmet 3616 includes an upper imaging element 3634-1 and a lower imaging element 3634-2. Other imaging elements, such as downward facing imaging elements, side-facing imaging elements, etc., have been eliminated from
As illustrated, the imaging elements include a lens 3635 and a sensor 3636 that is coupled with and operable with the lens to convert an optical image into an electrical signal. As discussed above, the imaging elements 3634 may be small enough to fit within the shell of the helmet 3616 and the inner liner. For example, expanded view of imaging element 3634-2 illustrates the lens fitting within the surface of the helmet outer shell 3616-1 and the sensor fitting within the inner liner 3616-2.
In addition to forward or outward facing imaging elements 3634, in some embodiments, the helmet 3616 may include, or be retrofitted to include, one or more output devices, such as heads-up display (“HUD”) projectors 3660-1, 3660-2 that are positioned on the interior of the helmet 3616 and oriented to project visual information into a field of view of a driver while the driver is wearing the helmet. For example, visual information may be presented by the HUD projector(s) 3660 onto the face shield 3661 of the helmet 3616 and/or onto a projection screen 3662 positioned on an upper ridge of the face opening of the helmet. The HUD projectors 3660-1, 3660-2 may present any type of information for viewing by the driver that is wearing the helmet 3616. For example, presented information may include vehicle information, driver information, and/or event information. In other embodiments, other forms of output devices may be included in the helmet. For example, the face shield itself may include a transparent display, such as a transparent OLED or LED display. In other examples, reflective technology may be utilized to present the information into the field of view of the driver.
In some embodiments, the helmet 3616 may also include, or be retrofitted to include, one or more gaze tracking imaging elements 3670-1, 3670-2 that are positioned on the rim of the face opening of the helmet 3616 and oriented such that the eyes of the driver wearing the helmet are within the field of view of the imaging elements 3670-1, 3670-2. Like the forward facing imaging elements 3634, the gaze tracking imaging elements may be limited to only include the lens and sensor in the helmet and all other components may be included in an in-vehicle computing device, and/or a remote computing device, that is communicatively coupled to the gaze tracking imaging elements 3670-1, 3670-2.
In some embodiments, the gaze tracking imaging elements 3670-1, 3670-2 may be adjustable in one or more directions such that each gaze tracking imaging element may be positioned in front of each eye of the driver wearing the helmet 3616. Image data generated by each of the gaze tracking imaging elements 3670-1, 3670-2 may be processed to determine the direction in which the driver is looking, driver fatigue, driver stress, etc. Processing imaging data for gaze tracking is known in the art and need not be discussed in further detail herein.
As discussed, each of the imaging elements 3634-1, 3634-2, 3670-1, 3670-2, and/or projectors 3660-1, 3660-2 may be communicatively coupled to an in-vehicle computing device and/or one or more remote computing devices. For example, each of the imaging elements 3634-1, 3634-2, 3670-1, 3670-2, and/or projectors 3660-1, 3660-2 may be wired to a connection point 3651 that enables a separable wired connection, such as a magnetic connection between the helmet 3616 and a wired connection 3650 that is coupled to an in-vehicle computing device, as discussed herein. As discussed, the separable connection point may be affixed via a magnetic connection, as discussed, and/or any other form of separable connection. In some embodiments, more than one form of separable connection may be utilized. In the illustrated example, in addition to the magnet connection, a hook and loop fastener 3671-1, 3671-2 may be included to further secure the wired connection 3651 to the helmet 3616 at the connection point 3651.
As discussed, the imaging elements 3734, 3770 may include a wired connection 3735 from the imaging element to a connection point 3751 on the helmet and data/electrical signals and/or power may be sent through the wire(s) between the imaging elements and the connection point 3751. Likewise, the projectors 3760 may also have wired 3735 connections between the projectors 3760 and the connection point 3751 and data/electrical signals and/or power may be sent through the wired connection between the projectors and the connection point. The connection point may provide a wired connection 3775 or wireless connection from the helmet 3717 to an in-vehicle computing device 3750.
In some embodiments, the helmet 3717 may also include or be retrofitted to include, a memory 3755 and/or a power supply 3753 to power one or more components of the helmet 3717 and/or to power the memory 3755. The memory may be utilized to store, among other information, driver information, gaze settings for the driver (also referred to herein as driver eye profile), audio settings for the driver, HUD settings for the driver, etc. In such an example, when the driver connects the helmet 3717 to the in-vehicle computing device 3750 and receives power from the in-vehicle computing device and/or the power supply 3753, the stored driver information may be provided to the in-vehicle computing device 3750 and information provided and/or settings established for the helmet 3717 according to the stored information.
As discussed, the in-vehicle computing device 3750 may be special purpose computing device or, in other embodiments, a general purpose device, such as a cellular phone, tablet, laptop, wearable, etc. In addition, the in-vehicle computing device 3750 may also communicate with, receive and/or send data to one or more vehicle systems 3754 and/or a mocap suit 3752 worn by the driver. Likewise, the in-vehicle computing device may provide power to one or more of the imaging elements 3734, 3770, projectors 3760, etc., of the helmet.
Still further, the in-vehicle computing device 3750 may be coupled to and/or include one or more communication components 3754 that enable wired and/or wireless communication via a network 3702, such as the Internet, with one or more remote computing devices, such as computing resources 3703, team devices 3740, broadcast devices 3741 (e.g., television broadcasting devices), and/or other third party devices 3742 (e.g., weather stations). In some embodiments, the communication component 3754 may be separate from the in-vehicle computing device 3750, as illustrated. In other embodiments, the communication component 3754 may be included in and part of the in-vehicle computing device 3750. For example, if the in-vehicle computing device 3750 is a cellular phone, tablet, laptop, wearable, etc., the in-vehicle computing device may include the communication component 3754.
The computing resource(s) 3703 are separate from the in-vehicle computing device 3750. Likewise, the computing resource(s) 3703 may be configured to communicate over the network 3702 with the in-vehicle computing device 3750 and/or other external computing resources, data stores, vehicle systems 3754, etc.
As illustrated, the computing resource(s) 3703 may be remote from the helmet 3717 and/or the in-vehicle computing device 3750 and implemented as one or more servers 3703(1), 3703(2), . . . , 3703(P) and may, in some instances, form a portion of a network-accessible computing platform implemented as a computing infrastructure of processors, storage, software, data access, and so forth that is maintained and accessible by components of the helmet 3717 and/or the in-vehicle computing device 3750 via the network 3702, such as an intranet (e.g., local area network), the Internet, etc.
The computing resource(s) 3703 do not require end-user knowledge of the physical location and configuration of the system that delivers the services. Common expressions associated for these remote computing resource(s) 3703 include “on-demand computing,” “software as a service (SaaS),” “platform computing,” “network-accessible platform,” “cloud services,” “data centers,” and so forth. Each of the servers 3703(1)-(P) include a processor 3737 and memory 3739, which may store or otherwise have access to driver data and/or the racing system 3701.
The network 3702 may be any wired network, wireless network, or combination thereof, and may comprise the Internet in whole or in part. In addition, the network 3702 may be a personal area network, local area network, wide area network, cable network, satellite network, cellular telephone network, or combination thereof. The network 3702 may also be a publicly accessible network of linked networks, possibly operated by various distinct parties, such as the Internet. In some embodiments, the network 3702 may be a private or semi-private network, such as a corporate or university intranet. The network 3702 may include one or more wireless networks, such as a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, or some other type of wireless network. Protocols and components for communicating via the Internet or any of the other aforementioned types of communication networks are well known to those skilled in the art of computer communications and thus, need not be described in more detail herein.

In the illustrated example, the event data 3801, 3804, driver data 3805, and vehicle data 3802, 3803 are presented by a helmet projector onto a projection screen 3862 included along the top edge of the opening of the helmet. In addition, visual information, such as track lines 3810-1, 3810-2, different desired speed regions 3891-1, 3891-2, 3891-3, different desired speed indicators 3894-1, 3894-2, 3894-3, 3894-4, etc., may be presented on the face shield 3863 of the helmet such that they appear as being projected into the environment in which the driver is operating. For example, information presented on the face shield 3863 may be presented in the form of augmented reality. In the illustrated example, two different track lines, track 13810-1, which illustrates the preferred track line, and track 23810-2, which illustrates the drivers track line on the previous lap, are presented on the face shield 3863 of the helmet and appear to the driver overlaid on the physical track 3890 on which the driver is driving the vehicle, showing different lines that the driver may take through a turn on the track 3890. Likewise, different speed regions 3891 indicating whether the driver should be breaking or accelerating may be presented on the face shield 3863 of the helmet and appear to the driver overlaid on the physical track 3890 as different color regions or different zones. As another example, different desired speed indicators 3894 may be presented to the driver indicating the desired speed at each point along the racetrack as if they were included on or near the physical track. In other examples, additional, less, or different information may be presented to the driver. In addition, a driver, or another individual, such a team member, may alter the information presented via the HUD to the driver.
As noted above, while the example illustrated with respect to
The example process 3900 begins by presenting a HUD to a driver, as in 3902. Presentation of a HUD is discussed above. As the HUD is presented, the example process 3900 listens for an adjustment activation command, as in 3904. The adjustment activation command may be any predefined term or “wake word” that, upon detection, will trigger the system to listen for an adjustment command. The adjustment activation command may be any term or command, such as “Display adjustment.”
As the HUD process 3900 is executing, a determination is made as to whether an activation command has been received, as in 3906. If it is determined that an activation command has not been received, the example process returns to block 3902 and continues. However, if it is determined that the adjustment activation command has been received, the system receives and processes utterances provided to the system, as in 3908. For example, utterances may be provided by the driver, a team member, etc. The utterances may include one or more instructions to alter the information presented to the driver by the HUD and/or an utterance to alter a position at which one or more items of information are presented by the HUD. Any form of language processing, such as Natural Language Processing (“NLP”), etc., may be utilized with the disclosed embodiments.
Based on the processed utterances, a determination is made as to whether the utterance is a command to alter a position of one or more items of presented information, as in 3910. If a position of a presented item of information is to be altered, the example process alters the position of that item in the presentation of information by the HUD, as in 3912. For example, if the utterance includes a command to “move the driver information of fatigue level from a top right of the HUD to a bottom left of the HUD,” that utterance will be processed and cause the currently presented driver information of fatigue level to be moved from presentation in top right of the HUD to the bottom left of the HUD.
If it is determined that the utterance does not include a position adjustment command, or after adjusting the position of presented information, a determination is made as to whether the utterance includes a content adjustment command, as in 3914. A content adjustment command may be any command to add an item of information to the information presented by the HUD or to remove an item of information from the information presented by the HUD. If it is determined that the utterance includes a command to adjust a content item, the example process causes the adjustment of one or more items of information presented by the HUD, as in 3916. For example, if the utterance includes the command “present driver heartrate,” the example process 3900 will cause the heartrate of the driver to the presented by the HUD.
As will be appreciated, the order in which the command execution is determined or processed may be done in parallel or series and the discussion of first determining whether the utterance includes a command to adjust a position of presented information and then determining whether the utterance includes a command to alter the presented information, is just an example. In other examples, the determinations may be done in parallel or in a different order. Likewise, in some embodiments, the example process 3900 may process utterances to determine and perform several commands. For example, a driver may provide an utterance that includes “remove the speed and present total event time in the lower right corner.” In such an example, the example process 3900 may process the utterance to determine that the utterance includes three commands—one to remove the presentation of speed information, a second to present total event time information, and a third to present the total event time information in the lower right corner of the HUD. In such an example, each of the commands are determined and performed by the example process 3900. Upon completion of the commands determined from an utterance, or if it is determined that there is no command detected in the utterance, the example process 3900 returns to block 3902 and continues.
The example process 4000 begins when a helmet is activated, as in 4001. For example, when a helmet is attached to a wired connection that connects the helmet to an in-vehicle computing device, as discussed above, and the helmet receives power through the wired connection, the helmet may be automatically activated. In other examples, the helmet may include one or more power switches that may be activated by a driver and/or include a motion switch that activates the helmet in response to a movement of the helmet. In still other examples, the helmet may include one or more pressure sensors that detect when the helmet is placed on a head of a driver and the detection causes the helmet to activate.
Upon activation of the helmet, a determination is made as to whether a driver eye profile of a driver wearing the helmet is known, as in 4002. A driver eye profile for gaze tracking may be established by the example process 4000 the first time a driver wears the helmet and that information may be stored in a memory of the helmet and/or associated with a helmet identifier and stored in a memory of the in-vehicle computing device and/or another computing device. The driver eye profile may include information regarding a position, size, range of movement, etc., of each driver eye with respect to the gaze tracking cameras included in the helmet.
If it is determined that the driver profile is known, the driver eye profile is loaded and utilized to perform gaze tracking of the driver, as in 4004. If it is determined that the driver eye profile is not known, the example process may learn the driver eye profile, as in 4005. For example, the example process 4000 may provide a series of instructions to the driver and utilize the gaze tracking cameras in the helmet to record information about the eyes of the driver as the driver performs the series of instructions. That information may then be processed by the example process 4000 to determine a driver eye profile for the driver. For example, the example process 4000 may provide instructions to the driver to look left, look right, look up, look down, open eyes wide, close eyes, etc., and record the drivers actions as the driver performs those instructions. The recorded information may be used to determine the driver eye profile for the driver which may indicate, among other information, the separation between each eye of the driver, the pupil shape of each eye of the driver, the range of motion of each eye of the driver, etc.
Upon determination of the driver eye profile, or after loading a known driver eye profile, the example process 4000 monitors the position or movement of the eyes of the driver, also referred to herein as gaze or gaze direction, as in 4006. In addition to monitoring the gaze of the driver, one or more lighting conditions may be monitored to determine light changes that may potentially affect the pupil dilation of the driver as the eyes of the driver are monitored, as in 4007. For example, the helmet may include a light sensor that can detect changes in light as the user drives in and out of shadows, etc.
Based on the monitored eye position, movement, and/or lighting information, the example process may monitor for an alertness blink rate of the driver, an awareness of the driver, an anisocoria comparison, a pupil dilation of the driver, a reaction time of the driver, etc., as in 4008. Such information may be utilized to determine if an alert threshold has been exceeded for the driver, as in 4010. For example, it may be determined that the fatigue level of the driver has exceeded a threshold based on the anisocoria comparison and the reaction time indicated by the gaze tracking information.
If it is determined that an alert threshold has not been exceeded, the example process 4000 returns to block 4006 and continues. If it is determined that an alert threshold has been exceeded, the example process 4000 generates one or more alerts, as in 4012. An alert may be a visual and/or audible notification to the driver, a driver team member, etc.
The example process 4100 receives driver data, vehicle data, and/or event data, as in 4102. As discussed above, this information may be collected and provided by the in-vehicle computing device.
As the data, such as the forward helmet video data generated by one or more forward facing cameras on the helmet of the driver, is received, that data may be presented on a display, such a computing device accessible by a team member, as in 4104. In addition, one or more items of information, such as driver data, vehicle data, and/or event data may also by presented, as in 4105. In some embodiments, the information presented may be configured to correspond to the information presented on the HUD of the driver such that team members are viewing what is viewed by the driver.
In addition, gaze direction information of the driver, determined by example process 4000 discussed above may also be received or determined by the example process 4100, as in 4106. In such an embodiment, the position of the gaze direction of the driver may be overlaid on the forward helmet video to illustrate the portion of the video information that corresponds to the current gaze direction of the driver, as in 4108. For example, the forward helmet data may include a field of view that is larger than a field of view of the driver. In such an example, the gaze direction of the driver may be overlaid to illustrate the portion of the forward helmet video data that corresponds to the current gaze direction of the driver. In other examples, only the portion of the forward direction video data that corresponds to the current gaze direction of the driver may be presented, thereby providing an approximate correlation between the driver's actual view and what is presented by the example process 4100.
While the above example process 4100 is discussed with respect to presenting information to team members of the driver, in other embodiments, one or more of video data from an imaging element of the helmet worn by the driver, event data, driver data, and/or vehicle data may be provided to a broadcast system, such as a television producer, for broadcast to a wider audience.
While the examples discussed above with respect to
In some embodiments, the players may want to learn one or more sports. To learn the one or more sports, one or more key skills and critical factors would be required by the players. The one or more sports might include, but are not limited to, soccer, football, basketball, lacrosse, tennis, track-running, volleyball, sports car racing, Formula 1 racing, stock car racing, drag racing, motorcycle road racing, karting, bicycling, BMX, motocross, martial arts (e.g., karate), ice hockey, figure skating, skiing, golf, baseball, single- and multi-player AR games, swimming, gymnastics, hunting, bowling, skateboarding, surfing, or wakeboarding. In each of the one or more sports, the players may be trained in factors such as where to place attention, where to look at various times during play, the position and attitude of the body, and center of balance. In addition, following are the one or more key skills and the critical factors for learning the one or more sports:
Soccer
For soccer, the players may require training in one or more key skills to prepare physically and mentally before participating in any session. The one or more key skills may include, but are not limited to, how to pass a soccer ball (football) to other teammates, how to trap the soccer ball with the player's feet or upper body, how to juggle the soccer ball, how to pass the soccer ball from left to right, how to pass the soccer ball to other players, how kick the soccer ball into a goal without allowing goalkeeper to block it, and/or mapping and understanding each players individual optimal balance to enhance and increase performance potential during game play. In one embodiment, a video demonstration may be used to learn the one or more key skills. Further, the players may need to build one or more muscle memories of a specific leg (i.e., calf, quad), or an arm (i.e., flexor, biceps, core muscles). The one or more muscle memories may be used for increasing strength and flexibility to benefit endurance, acceleration, and direction transition. In some embodiments, potential passes may be decoded by monitoring eye targets and body positioning of the players.
Further, one or more things may be required for teaching individual skills to the players off the field. The one or more things may include, but are not limited to, a flat turf simulation field, a holosphere rotational balance ball, or a simulation treadmill for training the players in running or focusing on ball, mid-foot, and/or heel balance positions, as well as arm positions. It should be noted that training in arm positions may be required for power, acceleration, defense blocking, and balance.
Further, one or more technologies may be needed to train the players off the field and/or on the field. There may be multiple modes, including sanctioned competition play versus training. Granularity of motion and video captured using one or more field cameras may be adjustable. In one embodiment, the one or more field cameras may be at least one. In another embodiment, the one or more field cameras may be more than 20. Further, a helmet camera and a body motion tracking system may work in conjunction with a synchronized clock to synchronize all equipment for simultaneously capturing player motion and individual video. It should be noted that the individual video overlay may combine 3D motion capture files with actual motion video. Further, the soccer training may include a projected soccer field with players. Further, the soccer training may include one or more scenarios—e.g., a player may kick and pass the football to another player where a trajectory of the football may be projected, and the football may be received or intercepted depending on the accuracy of the kick.
Further, a helmet or headgear may be integrated with a body motion tracker and cameras. The cameras may provide synchronized body motion and each player's point of view of what the players see. Further, one or more physical locations may be calculated relative to all other players and the football. Each player may be tracked and viewed after the practice to see exactly how the players reacted and what the players may have done differently. It should be noted that the helmet or headgear may be lightweight. Further, object tracking may be used to follow the football. The object tracking may be done using transponders and video object recognition. The video object recognition may enable monitoring of game play velocity, trajectory, passing targets, goals, and errors.
Further, remote coaching and data collection may be feasible using holographic data (“holodata”) telemetry, video, or a live motion capture feed, any of which may be directed to a secure network location. It should be noted that individuals competing may be tracked in conjunction with all other monitored players. Further, videos with motion capture overlay may be displayed in conjunction with audio two-way communication between coach and wearer (i.e., players) in real time. Additionally, multiple players may be added to the communication console to enable team versus one-on-one coaching.
Further, AR may provide a motion analytic view of the game to each player, coach, and spectator. The motion analytic view may display synchronized statistics and player performance to track each play. Further, such techniques may automate a visual replay of physical body motion with a video of the play. Therefore, such techniques may make the analysis of the play more obvious and easier to critique from the point of view of the coach and the players.
Further, the teammates and a selected individual (i.e., one to one or one to many) may be tracked and engage in direct communication with each other during practice and competitive play. Such “group thinking” may result in updated individual and team strategy, thereby increasing the performance and strategic potential of the individual and the team.
Further, one or more items of protective gear may be used for the protection of players. In some embodiments, a lightweight helmet or headgear may be offered for wearer protection. Further, the lightweight helmet or headgear may be integrated with a communication module for enhanced data tracking and coaching. Further, other equipment, such as headgear, elbow pads, knee pads, and shoes, may be integrated with transmitting devices.
In some embodiments, players may wear a mocap suit for recording kinematic profiles during each play. Such kinematic profiles may enable a coach to analyze the players' offensive and defensive moves relative to each play. Further, the coach may be able to see how the player reads and readies for an offensive/defensive maneuver based on a particular play. Further, a footbed (insole) sensor may track each player's weight distribution throughout the play. In some embodiments, timecode may be used to synchronize each play so that motion and weight distribution of each player may be captured during the play, thus eliminating conventional video training that requires the coach to remember or isolate each specific play or event and attempt to recall the entire play even if the video only shows the football and the players near the football.
Further, one or more cameras may be placed at strategic (e.g., 10-yard) increments along a side of the field in conjunction with body sensors. Such placement of the one or more cameras may provide each coach, trainer, and player with a highly accurate record of high-resolution, multi-perspective synchronized volumetric video and motion images. Further, a large-scale volume rendering of the motion/video may accurately render the interplay of all players anywhere on the field, resulting in an unparalleled view of how each player performs and how the play is executed. In an alternate embodiment, a new form of analytical training strategy may be applied. The synchronized volume or motion video may be timecode-synced with the foot sensors and the motion capture headgear, which may capture and allow for re-rendering and analysis, the majority of significant physical motion during a practice or tournament.
In some embodiments, the plays and the recorded video practice may be rendered with individually selected ghost team members and potential offensive players on the field. Further, a master 3D play and a view for each player wearing AR headgear may broadcast and display the player's field of view during practice without exposing the player to potential injuries. Further, each team member may individually, or as a preprogrammed group, create or re-enact specific plays that may be practiced without actual players on the field. In one embodiment, the practice may be specific to the team's approved plays or to strategize new plays against an opponent that runs specific routines. Further, the potential injuries that may be sustained on a practice field with inexperienced or error-prone, poorly rehearsed team members may be reduced as holographic teammates may repeat the rehearsal without endangering the player's practice. Further, each one of the coaches and the team members may replay and rehearse the moves and/or review other players or team videos to strategically coordinate and synchronize the plays. It should be noted that each practice event may allow each player and coach to rehearse and refine training and game strategy using a playback system.
In some embodiments, a coach may be remotely positioned from the place where he is coaching. The coach may view a scene through any camera placed in the vicinity of the area they are coaching, or from a first-person perspective of any player in the area they are coaching. The coach may trigger holographic videos, place holographic players in a scene. The coach may be able to play a video game simulation of a game as in conventional video games (e.g. the “Madden NFL” game from Electronic Arts), but where the players rendered in the game are actual physical players on an actual field, and wherein the opponents rendered for the players on the actual field are the virtual players from the video game.
In some embodiments, a coach may use virtual reality goggles to see a complete, immersive view of a particular player. The coach may wear a motion capture suit and make motions to indicate to the person he is viewing, the motion they should perform. The person the coach is viewing may receive haptic feedback through their garments indicating physically what the coach expects them to do, such as throw a ball or look in a particular direction. For instance, the coach may move their head left, to indicate to look left, and the player may feel a haptic vibration or force on the portion of their body that should move, such as a pressure on the left side into which they should move their head. Similarly, the coach may lift their right arm and make a throwing motion, and the player would feel corresponding haptic pressure on their right arm and hand which was holding the ball, to throw the ball.
In some embodiments, a physical (actual) team may be able to re-play a famous play in a game, such as the final winning throw in a Superbowl game. The players would all be guided by haptic and visual means to perform their “part” in the original play, and the physical (actual) opponents would be similarly guided. The players would then be rewarded for the fidelity with which they duplicated the game. In another embodiment, the team can be coached through a poorly executed earlier play, where the opponents are guided to perform the winning move, and the players are encouraged to alter the way they responded in the poorly executed earlier play, in order to perform a successful play. In another embodiment, the system would project an entirely virtual set of opponents for a team who was physically real, and the portions of the game that could not be precisely simulated (e.g. tackling non-corporeal virtual players) would be nonetheless performed (a tackle by a real player would cause the virtual player to fall or be knocked over correctly.) In an embodiment, an AI component of the opponent simulation would use measured data on the performance of the actual physical team, and use it to alter the behavior of the simulated opponents, to increase the difficulty or to provide variety.
In some embodiments, individual metrics may be tracked and cataloged for practices and tournament play. The individual metrics may be completed passes, errors, opportunities, unsuccessful attempts, successful penetration of an offensive play, and/or defensive success on an opposing play. Body sensors linked via timecode may record a comprehensive physiological record of the players' stamina, time on the field, acceleration, and play performance metrics, and catalog G-force impacts. Further, additional metrics, such as retinal tracking and a specific direction of attention during the play, may be used to optimize strategic game play awareness. Further, when a player starts training or attempts to learn a new maneuver, then the player may know exactly what to concentrate and work on to progress more rapidly and with more certainty. Further, the individual performance metrics may be raised as each player/trainee has more certainty of exactly what was performed correctly and incorrectly so the players may have greater confidence in the moves, and what was performed incorrectly so the players may quickly stop or change bad habits and begin to improve training methodology to quickly advance ability in the sport.
Key Skills by Sport
The following section provides detailed explanations of the key skills developed by the system described herein, for each sport.
American Football
For American football, players may require training in one or more key skills to prepare physically and mentally before participating in a session. The one or more key skills may include, but are not limited to, how to properly execute offensive and defensive moves, how to pass and receive the football, how to avoid or “juke” opponents, and/or mapping and understanding each player individual optimal balance to enhance and increase performance potential during game play. In one embodiment, a video demonstration may be used to learn the one or more key skills. Further, players may need to build one or more muscle memories of a specific leg (i.e., calf, quad), or an arm (i.e., flexor, biceps, core muscles). The one or more muscle memories may be used for increasing strength and flexibility to benefit endurance, acceleration, and direction transition. In some embodiments, potential passes may be decoded by monitoring eye targets and body positioning of the players.
Further, one or more things may be required for teaching individual skills to players off the field. The one or more things may include, but are not limited to, a flat turf simulation field, a holosphere rotational balance ball, or a simulation treadmill for training players in running or focusing on ball, mid-foot, and/or heel balance positions, as well as arm positions. It should be noted that the training of the arm positions may be required for power, acceleration, defense blocking, and balancing.
Further, one or more technologies may be needed to train the players off the field and/or on the field. There may be modes for sanctioned competition play versus training. Granularity of motion and video captured using one or more field cameras may be adjustable. In one embodiment, the one or more field cameras may be at least one. In another embodiment, the one or more field cameras may be more than 20. Further, a helmet camera and a body motion tracking system may work in conjunction with a synchronized clock to synchronize all equipment for simultaneously capturing player motion and individual video. It should be noted that the individual video overlay may combine 3D motion capture files with an actual motion video. Further, the American football training may include a projected football field with players. Further, the American football training may include one or more scenarios—e.g., a player may pass or kick the football to another player where a trajectory of the football may be projected, and the football may be received or intercepted depending on the accuracy of the throw or kick.
Further, a helmet or headgear may be integrated with a body motion tracker and cameras. The cameras may provide synchronized body motion and each player's point of view of what the player sees. Further, one or more physical locations may be calculated relative to all other players and the football. Each player may be tracked and viewed after the practice to see exactly how the players reacted and what the players may have done differently. It should be noted that the helmet or headgear may be lightweight. Further, object tracking may be used to follow the football. The object tracking may be done using transponders and video object recognition. The video object recognition may enable monitoring of a game play velocity, trajectory, passing targets, goals, and errors.
Further, remote coaching and data collection may be feasible using holographic data (“holodata”) telemetry, video, or a live motion capture feed, any of which may be directed to a secure network location. It should be noted that individuals participating in a scrimmage may be tracked in conjunction with all other monitored players. Further, videos with motion capture overlay may be displayed in conjunction with audio two-way communication between coach and wearer (i.e., players) in real time. Additionally, multiple players may be added to the communication console to enable team versus one-on-one coaching.
Further, AR may provide a motion analytic view of the game to each player, coach, and spectator. The motion analytic view may display synchronized statistics and player performance to track each play. Further, such techniques may automate visual replay of physical body motion with video of the play. Therefore, such techniques may make the analysis of the play more obvious and easier to critique from the coach and the players' point of view.
Further, the teammates and a selected individual (i.e., one to one or one to many) may be tracked and engage in direct communication with each other during practice and a competitive play. Such team communication or “group thinking” may result in updating individual strategy and team strategy, and thereby increasing the performance and strategic potential of the individual and the team. Further, one or more items of protective equipment may be used for the protection of players. In one embodiment, a traditional football helmet may be substituted for a lightweight helmet outfitted with a communication module for enhanced data tracking and coaching. Further, other equipment, such as headgear, elbow pads, knee pads, and shoes, may be integrated with transmitting devices.
In some embodiments, players may wear mocap suits for recording kinematic profiles during each play. Such kinematic profiles may enable a coach to analyze the players' offensive and defensive moves relative to each play to see how the player reads and readies for an offensive or defensive maneuver based on a particular play. Further, a footbed sensor may track each player's weight distribution throughout the entire play. In some embodiments, timecode may be used to synchronize each play so that motion and weight distribution of each player may be captured during the play, thus eliminating conventional video training that requires the coach to remember or isolate each specific play or event and attempt to recall the entire play even if the video only shows the football and the players near the football.
Further, one or more cameras may be placed at strategic (e.g., 10-yard) increments along a side of the field in conjunction with body sensors. Such placement of the one or more cameras may provide each coach, trainer, and player with a highly accurate record of UHDPV synchronized volume of action video and motion images. Further, a large-scale volume rendering of the motion/video may accurately render the interplay of all players anywhere on the field, resulting in an unparalleled view of how each player performs and how the play is executed. In an alternate embodiment, a new form of analytical training strategy may be applied. The synchronized volume and motion video may be timecode-synced with the foot sensors and the motion capture headgear, which may render all visual and physical motion during a practice or tournament. Further, reference videos or students' past recordings may provide a progressive and graduated learning curve of reference to track what the player did each time to see how the player truly progresses.
In some embodiments, the training and the recorded video practice may be rendered with individually selected ghost team members and potential offensive players on the field. Further, each team member may focus on specific plays that may be practiced without actual players on the field. In one embodiment, the practice may be specific to the team's approved plays or to strategize new plays against an opponent that runs specific routines. Further, the potential injuries that may be sustained on a practice field with inexperienced or error-prone, poorly rehearsed team members may be reduced as holographic teammates may repeat the rehearsal without endangering the player's practice. Further, each one of the coaches and the team members may replay and rehearse the moves and/or review other players or team videos to strategically coordinate and synchronize plays. It should be noted that each practice event may allow each player and coach to rehearse and refine training and game strategy using a playback system.
In some embodiments, individual metrics may be tracked and cataloged for practices and tournament play. The individual metrics may include completed passes, errors, opportunities, unsuccessful attempts, successful penetration of an offensive play, and/or defensive success on an opposing play. Body sensors linked via timecode may record a comprehensive physiological record of the players' stamina, time on the field, acceleration, and play performance metrics, and catalog G-force impacts. Further, additional metrics, such as retinal tracking and specific direction of attention during the play, may be used to help optimize strategic game play awareness. Further, when a player starts training or attempts to learn a new maneuver, the player may know exactly what to concentrate and work on to progress more rapidly and with more certainty. Further, the individual performance metrics may be raised as each player/trainee has more certainty of exactly what was performed correctly and incorrectly so the players may have greater confidence in the moves, and what was performed incorrectly so the players may quickly stop or change bad habits and begin to improve the training methodology to quickly advance ability in the sport.
Basketball
For basketball, players may require training in one or more key skills to prepare physically and mentally before participating in a session. The one or more key skills may include, but are not limited to, how to shoot baskets from inside and outside a key, lay-ups, dunks, passing plays and quick multi-passes to set up for a shot, dribbling and quick jukes to change direction, body scanning to determine muscle mass and individual body rotational flex points, and mapping and understanding each player's individual optimal balance to enhance and increase performance potential during game play. In one embodiment, a video demonstration may be used to learn the one or more key skills. Further, the players may need to build one or more muscle memories of a specific leg (i.e., calf, quad), or an arm (i.e., flexor, biceps, core muscles). The one or more muscle memories may be used for increasing strength and flexibility to benefit endurance, acceleration, and direction transition. In one embodiment, potential passes may be decoded by monitoring eye targets and body positioning of players.
It should be noted that basketball may be played on a gymnasium court (i.e., boards) or outside. Further, basketball courts may come in different sizes. For example, the court is 94 by 50 feet (28.7 by 15.2 meters) in the National Basketball Association (NBA). As another example, under International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules, the court is 91.9 by 49.2 ft (28 by 15 meters). Further, a target may require an 18″ hoop mounted on a 6′ wide backboard for practice shooting mounted 10 feet off the floor for regulation play. Further, a regulation key and court boundaries may identify the boundaries. Further, sprinting and cardio workouts may help the players for short-duration high-energy practice.
Further, one or more technologies may be needed to learn the sport. There may be modes for sanctioned competition play versus training. Granularity of motion and video captured using one or more field court cameras may be adjustable. In one type of practice, such as dribbling, at least one court camera may be sufficient. In another embodiment, up to 20 or more court cameras may be required to capture the entire motion of the play. Further, a helmet camera and a body motion tracking system may work in conjunction with the court cameras, all unified by a synchronized network clock to synchronize all equipment for simultaneously capturing player motion and individual video. It should be noted that the individual video overlay may combine 3D motion capture files with actual motion video. Further, basketball training may include a projected basketball court with players. Further, the basketball training may include one or more scenarios—e.g., a player may pass the basketball to another player where the trajectory of the basketball may be projected, and the basketball may be received or intercepted depending on the accuracy of the pass or shot.
Further, a helmet or headgear may be integrated with a body motion tracker and wearers' point-of-view cameras. The cameras may allow synchronization of body motion and each player's point of view. Players may wear motion capture body scanners integrated into lightweight caps that can sense accurate motion of each appendage (knee, feet, arms, etc.) and can provide real-time kinematics of the players' motion as they move about the court. Further, one or more physical locations may be calculated relative to all other players and the basketball. Each player may be tracked and viewed after the practice to see exactly how the players reacted and what the players may have done differently. It should be noted that the helmet/headgear may be lightweight. Further, object tracking may be used to follow the basketball. The object tracking may be done using transponders and video object recognition.

It should be noted that each practice event may allow each player and coach to rehearse and refine training and game strategy, using a playback system.
In one embodiment, individual metrics may be tracked and catalogued for practices and individual routine learning. In one embodiment, when a player starts training or attempts to learn a new maneuver, then the player may know exactly what to concentrate and work on to progress more rapidly and with more certainty. Further, the individual metrics may be raised as each player has more certainty of exactly what the players did right and wrong so that the player may have greater confidence in the moves and what the players were doing wrong so that the players may quickly stop or change bad habits and begin to improve the training methodology to quickly advance the ability in the sport.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the above-mentioned sports have been provided only for illustration purposes. In some embodiments, other sports may be used as well without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned methodology may be employed in social media by using machine learning to automatically tag the sport. Further, the system may include normal holograms (e.g., free space, volumetric imaging, ionizing air, or lasers on a 3D substrate), air ionization using lasers, laser projection on fog, medium-based holography, Pepper's ghost and full-sized “holography” in which the user may see the image with a mirror (e.g., the Tupac hologram), non-3D head-tracking perspective, any future holography techniques, and/or projection on film or a translucent window.
The disclosed methods and systems, as illustrated in the foregoing description or any of its components, may be embodied in the form of a computer system. Typical examples of a computer system include a general-purpose computer, a programmed microprocessor, a microcontroller, a peripheral integrated circuit element, and other devices, or arrangements of devices that are capable of implementing the steps that constitute the method of the disclosure.
The computer system may comprise a computer, an input device, a display unit, and the internet. The computer may further comprise a microprocessor. The microprocessor may be connected to a communication bus. The computer may also include a memory. The memory may be random-access memory or read-only memory. The computer system may further comprise a storage device, which may be a hard disk drive or a removable storage device such as a floppy disk drive, an optical disk drive, an SD card, flash storage, or the like. The storage device may also be a means for loading computer programs or other instructions into the computer system. The computer system may also include a communication unit. The communication unit may allow the computer to connect to other computer systems and the Internet through an input/output (I/O) interface, allowing the transfer and reception of data to and from other systems. The communication unit may include a modem, an Ethernet card, or similar devices that enable the computer system to connect to networks such as LANs, MANs, WANs, and the Internet. The computer system facilitates input from a user through input devices accessible to the system through the I/O interface.
To process input data, the computer system may execute a set of instructions stored in one or more storage elements. The storage element(s) may also hold other data or information, as desired. Each storage element may be in the form of an information source or a physical memory element present in or connected to the processing machine.
The programmable or computer-readable instructions may include various commands that instruct the processing machine to perform specific tasks, such as steps that constitute the method of the disclosure. The systems and methods described can also be implemented using software alone, hardware alone, or a varying combination of the two. The disclosure is independent of the programming language and the operating system used by the computers. The instructions for the disclosure may be written in any programming language, including, but not limited to, assembly language or machine instructions, C, C++, Objective-C, Java, Swift, Python, and JavaScript. Further, software may be in the form of a collection of separate programs, a program module containing a larger program, or a portion of a program module, as discussed in the foregoing description. The software may also include modular programming in the form of object-oriented programming. The processing of input data by the processing machine may be in response to user commands, the results of previous processing, or a request made by another processing machine. The methods and systems of the disclosure may also be implemented using various operating systems and platforms, including, but not limited to, Unix, Linux, BSD, DOS, Windows, Android, iOS, Symbian, a real-time operating system, and a purpose-built operating system. The methods and systems of the disclosure may be implemented using no operating system as well. The programmable instructions may be stored and transmitted on a computer-readable medium. The disclosure may also be embodied in a computer program product comprising a computer-readable medium with any product capable of implementing the above methods and systems or the numerous possible variations thereof.
Various embodiments of the methods and systems for training people using spacial computing and mixed-reality technologies have been disclosed. However, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications in addition to those described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The embodiments, therefore, are not restrictive, except in the spirit of the disclosure. Moreover, in interpreting the disclosure, all terms should be understood in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “including,” and “id est” should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be present, used, or combined with other elements, components, or steps that are not expressly referenced.
A person with ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the systems, modules, and submodules have been illustrated and explained to serve as examples and should not be considered limiting in any manner. It will be further appreciated that the variants of the above disclosed system elements, modules, and other features and functions, or alternatives thereof, may be combined to create other, different systems or applications.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that any of the aforementioned steps and/or system modules may be suitably replaced, reordered, or removed, and additional steps and/or system modules may be inserted, depending on the needs of a particular application. In addition, the systems of the aforementioned embodiments may be implemented using a wide variety of suitable processes and system modules, and are not limited to any particular computer hardware, firmware, software, middleware, microcode, instruction set, or the like.
