The present invention is to provide a device for sensing golf swing and a method for sensing an impact position on club head using two cameras operated in a stereoscopic manner with each other in the sensing device to accurately calculate the position where the golf ball is impacted on the head-face of the golf club when hitting the golf ball.

A sports and performance media positional detection system, comprising: at least two elements, with at least one element involved in the sporting activity; a power source; and machine-to-machine communication, which are collectively arranged such that if any two or more elements interact, their electromagnetic properties can be detected thus allowing the position of the interacting elements to be communicated to a decision maker. The system can be applied to at least one stationary element, which can be the playing surface, lines defining the boundaries, or a set of goalposts; and at least one moving element, which could be a ball, footwear, or the participants themselves. The system can also be applied to performance media capture.

Disclosed is a golf ball identification system, including at least one pipe for golf balls to move in the pipe, a mechanism for stopping and allowing the golf balls to move in the pipe, the mechanism being arranged between a first closed position and a second open position, and golf ball identification unit arranged in connection with the at least one pipe or the mechanism for identifying a golf ball, a control unit for controlling the latch mechanism between the first closed position and the second open position. Additionally, disclosed is a related golf accuracy device, golf ball feeding device and golf ball sorting device.

Systems, devices, and methods for projecting an agility ladder onto a ground surface. A device may include a light source and an optical element configured to include an image of the agility ladder having a plurality of adjacent enclosed zones. The optical element may be positioned to allow the light source to project light through the optical element. The device may include at least one optical lens positioned such that the optical element is between the light source and the at least one optical lens. The at least one optical lens may be configured to magnify and project the image onto the ground surface. The device may include a plurality of sensors configured to detect an appendage partially or completely stepped within each of the plurality of adjacent enclosed zones. The device may include a processor coupled to the sensors and programmed to determine one or more training metrics.

This invention relates to a mobile health and fitness reactive immersive activity space embodied with a plurality of modules and more particularly to a motorized or towed vehicle or vessel with its structural space embodied in modular assembly with sensory flooring and walls, providing a immersive platform for performing health assessments and treatments as well as physical and mental health fitness activities for functional training and therapy, using a plurality of sensors, electronics, electrical and ambient audio-visual stimulation that can be programmed to suit the specific needs of an individual or a group of individuals.

A recreational game including a throwable object, a plurality of reception mechanisms, and a deflection mechanism. The throwable object can be thrown by a player of the recreational game and received by a reception mechanism. The throwable object can be deflected by the deflection mechanism to change a direction of the throwable object when the throwable object contacts the deflection mechanism. The deflection mechanism can include a nonplanar surface.

A basketball performance monitoring system comprising a local microprocessor in communication with a remote computational system. At least one sensor is coupled to the microprocessor. The at least one sensor is coupled to a basketball goal and is configured to sense at least one of an attempt to score a goal and a successful goal. A first display is coupled to the microprocessor and a second display is coupled to the remote computational system.

A system simultaneously tracks multiple objects. All or a subset of the objects includes a wireless receiver and a transmitter for providing an output. The system includes one or more wireless transmitters that send commands to the wireless receivers of the multiple objects instructing different subsets of the multiple objects to output (via their respective transmitter) at different times. The system also includes object sensors that receive output from the transmitters of the multiple objects and a computer system in communication with the object sensors. The computer system calculates locations of the multiple objects based on the sensed output from the multiple objects.

A basketball illumination system includes a light source mounted beneath a basketball rim to prevent glare and improve visibility of the rim in low lit conditions. Some embodiments include an L.E.D. strip arranged in a hoop directly below the rim. A bungee cord may couple the L.E.D. strip to the rim under tension to prevent the L.E.D. strip from straying into the path of balls travelling through the rim. Some embodiments include a rebound sensor and/or a shot senor. Each sensor may change the illumination of the L.E.D. strip in a different way upon detection.

A golf training aid 100 has a sensor mat 105 placed under a golf mat 200. The sensor mat 105 has pressure-sensitive impact sensors 210 disposed in first, second and third regions. It includes an electronic circuit which activates a first indicator green upon an ideal impact detected by impact of a golf club head on pressure-sensitive impact sensors 210 in the first region, a second indicator yellow upon a thin impact, or the third indicator red upon a fat shot impact detected by the impact sensors 210. The golf training aid 100 also includes a wearable module 700 attached to the golfer's waist. It includes an accelerometer which measures rotational motion of the wearable device 700 and wirelessly transmits a signal to a base module 600 which activates an indicator to show under-rotation, proper rotation and over-rotation of the golfer's hips at impact of the golf ball 305.
