发明名称 Computer-based, interactive sports training system
摘要 Sensors capable of sensing the proximity of a golf club head and of generating a sensor signal in response thereto are provided. The sensors include control sensors used to communicate user commands and club-head data sensors used to analyze a golf club swing. A computer program is provided to direct a computer to analyze signals generated by the control sensors to interpret commands from a training system user. The computer also analyzes signals generated by club-head data sensors to determine the path, height, impact speed, and face impact angle of the golf club head as a function of the user commands. Analyzed club-head data sensor signals are used to calculate and graphically represent the resulting flight path of the struck golf ball with respect to a graphically simulated fairway and green presented on a video display unit. The simulated fairway and green are defined by data stored within the data storage device. The computer determines faults in the club swing, and outputs to the video display unit and a speaker appropriate recorded audio-visual responses that contain appropriate advice and demonstrations by a well-known golf professional for correcting the faults. A user can also play a simulated golf game on a simulated golf course. A calibrator is also provided to compensate for sensor misalignment.
