Virtual reality system for viewing current and previously stored or calculated motion data

摘要

Virtual reality system for viewing current and previously stored or calculated motion data. System obtains data from motion capture elements, analyzes data and stores data in database for use in virtual reality applications and/or data mining, which may be charged for. Enables unique displays associated with the user, such as 3D overlays onto images of the user to visually depict the captured motion data. Ratings, compliance, ball flight path data can be calculated and displayed, for example on a map or timeline or both. Enables performance related equipment fitting and purchase. Includes active and passive identifier capabilities.

1. A method for utilizing a virtual reality system for viewing current and previously stored or calculated motion data comprising:
providing at least one motion capture element configured to couple with a user or piece of equipment wherein said at least one motion capture element comprises
a memory;a sensor configured to capture any combination of values associated with an orientation, position, velocity, acceleration of said at least one motion capture element;a radio;a microcontroller coupled with said memory, said sensor and said radio wherein said microcontroller is configured to
collect data that comprises sensor values from said sensor;store said data in said memory;transmit said data via said radio; providing a mobile device, wherein said mobile device comprises a computer;
a wireless communication interface configured to communicate with said radio to obtain said data,wherein said computer is coupled with said wireless communication interface, and
wherein said computer is configured to
receive data associated with said at least one motion capture element via said wireless communication interface;analyze said data to form motion analysis data;store said data, or said motion analysis data, or both said data and said motion analysis data associated with said user or piece of equipment;access previously stored motion capture data or motion analysis data associated with said user or piece of equipment or previously stored motion capture data or motion analysis data associated with at least one other user or other piece of equipment;display information comprising at least one avatar associated with said at least one user on a virtual reality display based on said motion analysis data associated with said user or piece of equipment, and said previously stored motion capture data or motion analysis data associated with said user or piece of equipment, or said previously stored motion capture data or motion analysis data associated with at least one other user or other piece of equipment.
