Method, virtual reality device, system, and non-volatile storage media for providing virtual realistic scenes
The present invention relates to a method for providing virtual realistic scenes, a VR device, a system, and a nonvolatile storage medium. Virtual outdoor realistic sports scenes are generated via the VR device while a user is running motion on a treadmill apparatus. In addition, the virtual outdoor realistic sports scenes can be changed based on different motion states.
Training program customization using sensor-equipped athletic garments
An exercise feedback system monitors the performance of athletes wearing a garment with sensors while exercising. The sensors generate physiological data such as muscle activation data, heart rate data, or data describing the athlete's movement. The system extracts features from the physiological data and compares the features with reference exercise data to determine metrics of performance and biofeedback. Based on the physiological data, the system may also modify exercise training programs for the athlete. The exercise feedback system can display the biofeedback using visuals or audio, as well as modified exercise training programs, via the athlete's client device in real time while the athlete is exercising. By reviewing the biofeedback, the athlete may correct the athlete's exercise form to properly use the target muscles for the exercise, or change the certain workouts to personalize the training program.
TELEMEDICINE FOR ORTHOPEDIC TREATMENT
A computer-implemented system includes an assistant interface for providing remote medical assistance to aid a patient in performing various aspects of a rehabilitation regimen for a body part comprising a joint, a bone, or a muscle group. The assistant interface is configured to communicate, via a network connection, a telemedicine signal with the patient interface. The telemedicine signal is configured to control the patient interface and/or a treatment apparatus configured to be manipulated by the patient to perform the rehabilitation regimen. The patient interface and the treatment apparatus are at a patient location geographically separate from a location of the assistant interface. The telemedicine signal includes one or more of an audio signal, an audiovisual signal, an interface control signal for controlling a function of the patient interface, and/or an apparatus control signal for changing an operating parameter of the treatment apparatus.
Golf club
Aspects of the invention are directed to golf club having a crown a sole and a face and a primary alignment feature including a paint or masking line which delineates the transition between at least a first portion of the crown having an area of contrasting shade or color with the shade or color of the face. In some embodiments the golf club has a primary alignment feature comprising a paint or masking line which delineates the transition between at least a first portion of the crown having an area of contrasting shade or color and the area of shade or color of the face and the club head also includes a secondary alignment feature including a paint or masking line which delineates the transition between the first portion of the crown having an area of contrasting shade or color with the shade or color of the face; and a second portion of the crown having an area of contrasting shade or color with the shade or color of the first portion.
Putting training device and method of providing swing posture coaching information using the same
A putting training device includes a fixing hub including a shaft retainer combined with a putter shaft; a first rotary support and a second rotary support coupled to the block part at both sides of the putter shaft, respectively; a first support bar having an upper end supposed to be held in an underarm of a user and the other end rotatably coupled to the first rotary support; a second support bar having an upper end supposed to be held in the underarm of the user and the other end rotatably coupled to the second rotary support; and an angle adjuster coupled to the first support bar and the second support bar over the first rotary support and the second rotary support to be able to adjust an angle between the first support bar and the second support bar.
TREMOR STABILISATION APPARATUS AND METHODS
The present invention relates to improvements in or relating to tremor stabilisation apparatus and methods, in particular to gyroscopic devices for use in controlling tremors of parts of the body and for reducing effects of tremors on the human body. The apparatus includes a wearable element and at least one gyroscopic device mounted or mountable to the wearable element, the gyroscopic device including a gyroscope and a gyroscope housing. The at least one gyroscopic device may be mounted within the housing such that the gyroscope may precess with respect to the housing. The mount may include a hinge to which the gyroscope is mounted and a hinge plate or hinge mount to which the hinge is mounted for rotation with respect to the gyroscope housing, such as a turntable mounted to the gyroscope housing. The gyroscopic devices may include a control arrangement to control the precession of the gyroscope.
Swing measurement device, swing measurement method, and swing measurement program
A swing measurement system measures an evaluation index of a swing of a golf club using an inertial sensor. A computer is provided with: a movement trajectory calculation unit for calculating a movement trajectory of the golf club during the swing using a detection value of the inertial sensor; a shaft plane calculation unit for calculating a shaft plane of the swing based on the movement trajectory in a freely selectable section of the swing; and an angle calculation unit for calculating, as the evaluation index, a shaft plane angle formed between the face surface of the golf club and the shaft plane.
Device for displaying in response to a sensed motion
A device includes a 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. The device may be used as a toy, and may be shaped like a play ball or as a handheld unit. It may be powered from a battery, either chargeable from an AC power source 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 sensed acceleration magnitude or direction, such as sensing the crossing of 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.
Analysis apparatus, analysis method, and recording medium
Provided is an analysis apparatus including an acquisition unit that acquires vibration data showing a vibration generated in a first object by having a second object come into contact with a first position on the first object, a first analysis processing unit that specifies the first position by comparing a vibration characteristic shown by the vibration data, and a vibration characteristic defined for each position where the second object may come into contact with the first object, and a second analysis processing unit that estimates a velocity after the contact of the second object based on a velocity of the first object and the first position.
WEARABLE DEVICE SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GUIDING PHYSICAL MOVEMENTS
A system includes wearable devices positioned on a subject in different locations. Each wearable device includes motion sensors that measure the subject's movement in three dimensions. The motion sensors generate raw sensory data as the subject performs a physical movement. A data filter is selected based on a condition of the subject and a designated movement corresponding to the physical movement, and used to convert the raw sensory data into formatted data. A level of compliance of the physical movement with a movement model for the designated movement is determined by applying comparative modeling techniques to the formatted data and the movement model. Real-time feedback is delivered dynamically to the subject by the wearable devices during the performance of the physical movement based on the level of compliance. The movement model can be generated, and the comparative modeling techniques can be selected, based on the condition of the subject.
