Novel tools and techniques for teaching a player the proper alignment when addressing a golf ball. In one aspect, such tools and techniques provide an alignment aid that allows the player to visualize both the intended target line of the shot as well as the position of the ball relative to the player's stance, allowing the player to easily modify his stance to obtain the proper alignment.

The present disclosure provides an intelligent insole module. The intelligent insole module is placed inside an insole for tracking a user's exercise behavior. The intelligent insole module comprises a sensing unit, a wireless unit, a control unit and a power supply unit. The sensing unit detects an exercise information. The wireless unit transmits the exercise information. The control unit is connected to the sensing unit and the wireless unit, and controls the sensing unit and the wireless unit. The power supply unit is connected to the control unit, and supplies electricity to the intelligent insole module. The power supply unit comprises a magnetic charging structure.

Virtual reality and communicative sensing devices may be applied to immersive and interactive exercise. Systems and methods may be used to capture a user's movements during exercise and use captured movement information to update sensory stimuli presented to the user via a head mounted display to create an illusion of being immersed in a virtual environment in which the user can interact. This movement information may be captured using an internet of things (IoT) sensor attached to, in communication with, or integrated into exercise equipment being operated by the user. The IoT sensor may identify exercise type, count the number of repetitions, and assess the quality of the exercise being performed by the user.

A device including a visual or audible signaling means and a motion sensor, and logic for activating or controlling the signaling means in response to a sensed motion according to an embedded logic is disclosed. The device may be used as a toy for amusement, and may be shaped like a play ball or as a handheld unit. The device may be powered from a battery, which may be charged from an AC power directly or contactless by using induction or by converting electrical energy from harvested kinetic energy. The embedded logic may activate or control the signaling means, predictably or randomly, in response to the sensed acceleration magnitude or direction, such as 10 sensing the crossing a preset threshold or sensing the peak value. The visual means may be a numeric display for displaying a value associated with the count of the number of times the threshold has been exceeded or the peak magnitude of the acceleration sensed.

An exercise treadmill is disclosed. The treadmill can include one or more sensors to acquire input data. A computer system can trigger one or more actions based on the input data. The input data can correspond to a lengthwise position of the user along a length of a usable surface of the platform and/or a lateral position of the user on the belt. The action(s) can include providing feedback to the user and/or adjusting rotation of the belt and/or a resistance of rotation of the belt. The adjustment can be performed in response to input from a user control requesting the adjustment.

A wearable device is provided. The wearable device includes memory storing one or more computer programs, an actuator, at least one sensor, an output circuit, and one or more processors, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wearable device to, acquire motion data of a user through the at least one sensor, set the operation mode of the wearable device to a first operation mode, after setting the operation mode to the first operation mode, provide a notification on the basis that a time point to provide the notification is identified, identify whether a designated user input is received, and change the operation mode from the first operation mode to a second operation mode on the basis that the reception of the designated user input is identified.

Swimming goggles including an eye covering having a transparent window defining a field of view, the eye covering having a seal extending from the transparent window operable to seal against a wearer's face and exclude water, a flexible strap comprising a temple region connected to the eye covering, a near-eye display operable to form virtual images viewable by one of the wearer's eyes, wherein the near-eye display comprises an image generator operable to generate images, and a computational processing unit arranged in signal communication with the image generator, wherein the computational processing unit is operable to transmit virtual image data to the image generator. Wherein the near-eye display includes a rigid frame connected to the temple region.

A training, rehabilitation, and recovery system comprises an exercise apparatus including a user interface member coupled to a plurality of links and joints, brakes capable of resisting movement of at least a subset of the links or joints, and sensors capable of sensing movement at the joints or the user interface member. The system also includes a processor configured to receive from the sensors positional data of the links or joints over an initial movement of the apparatus by a user, from which positional coordinates of the user interface member are calculated and a reference trajectory is established. An end space is defined based on the reference trajectory. Over a subsequent movement of the apparatus by the user, the processor receives additional positional data and determines a completion of a repetition based on the positional coordinates of the subsequent movement and the defined end space.

Stationary exercise machine with integrated holographic display to simulate depth and motion is disclosed. The disclosure uses an integrated and responsive 3-dimensional (3D) or holographic display attached to and/or integrated with stationary exercise equipment to create a more immersive, engaging and enjoyable stationary exercise experience. The 3D or holographic display provides a more stimulating sensory experience and can better simulate the perception of depth and motion through a 3D virtual environment.

Tracking and monitoring athletic activity offers individuals with additional motivation to continue such behavior. An individual may track his or her athletic activity by completing goals. These goals may be represented by real-world objects such as food items, landmarks, buildings, statues, other physical structures, toys and the like. Each object may correspond to an athletic activity goal and require an amount of athletic activity to complete the goal. For example, a donut goal object may correspond to an athletic activity goal of burning 350 calories. The user may progress from goal object to goal object. Goal objects may increase in difficulty (e.g., amount of athletic activity required) and might only be available for selection upon completing an immediately previous goal object, a number of goal objects, an amount of athletic activity and the like.
