Squash ball launching machine

An automatic ball launcher includes a ball feed control system that includes a meter wheel with radially-spaced ribs or grooves to selectively block and pass balls to the flywheels of the launcher. The meter wheel rotates to selectively block and release a single ball to pass at a time. The controller of the launcher can be programmed to stop the meter wheel when a ball has been metered by monitoring the current at peak of the motor driving the meter wheel. A meter-event can be determined to have occurred when the current of the drive motor drops to a trough by a pre-set magnitude following a rise to a peak value. A remote control can be provided for the user to operate the launching machine and adjust a plurality of parameters.

11318350 · 2022-05-03 · ·

This disclosure relates to systems, media, and methods for quantifying and monitoring exercise parameters and/or motion parameters, including performing data acquisition, analysis, and providing scientifically valid, clinically relevant, and/or actionable diagnostic feedback. Embodiments may be related to systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media for providing baseline-adjusted real-time feedback to a user. Embodiments may include determining a type of activity for the user. Embodiment may include receiving data from the one or more motion sensors indicating a time-dependent series of three axis acceleration data and three-axis orientation data. Embodiments additionally may include providing a graphical user interface with a real-time representation of the received data. The real-time representation may include a scaled representation of at least one dimension of the time-dependent series of three axis acceleration data and three-axis orientation data for at least one of the one or more motion sensors based on the updated baseline adjustment.

Compression golf swing training apparatus
11311790 · 2022-04-26 ·

A compression golf swing training apparatus includes a hitting board mounted atop a framework and configured to move downwardly at the point of impact from the golf club striking the hitting board during a golf swing. Specifically, the downward motion of the hitting board, when struck with a golf club, compresses the compression springs in their holder imitating or replicating the feeling a golfer experiences when taking a divot of golf course grass during a golf swing. The system is reconfigurable and interchangeable with distinct compression spring levels held in their individual spring holders replicating and/or imitating the resistance of the ground the golfer experiences playing on hard, soft, and wet golf course grass conditions.

MULTI-INPUT AUTOMATIC MONITORING OF MOTION TRACKING SYSTEM AND ACTUATION

Methods for automatically monitoring operation of a motion tracking system and actuating based on the operation, the motion tracking system comprising both a computing device, and a plurality of inertial measurement units adapted to be arranged on a body of a user. The computing device processes measurements of the units and sound captured by at least one microphone to provide flags related to the motion tracking procedure with regards to the motion input and the sound input, and actuates when motion-related flags and sound-related flags have been provided.

Virtual And Augmented Reality Personalized and Customized Fitness Training Activity or Game, Methods, Devices, and Systems
20230244304 · 2023-08-03 · ·

A method includes determining a customized action routine for a person to carry out in a virtual world, where the person is wearing a virtual reality (VR) headset. Objects associated with events from the routine are presented to the person in a virtual world via the VR headset; and aspects of the person's virtual interaction with the object in the virtual world are rendered on the VR headset. The person's virtual interactions with virtual objects is analyzed and used to determine, in real time, one or more next events for said routine.

System and methods for providing a user key performance indicators for basketball

The disclosure is directed to systems and methods for providing a user with key performance indicators of a basketball player relating to accuracy, precision and improvement. Specifically, the disclosure is directed to a system of sensors coupled to a basketball backboard adapted to provide an accurate tracking of a shot in a given three-dimensional space and extract features manipulated to yield key performance indicators based on establishing whether, how often and where the ball center passes the rim plane at a sub-cm resolution over a period of no more than 200 msec.

Systems and Method for Segmentation of Movement Repetitions and Extraction of Performance Metrics

In one embodiment, a method includes, by an electronic device, receiving a digital input indicating a type of movement. Streaming sensor data corresponding to movements of a first user can be accessed from one or more sensors of one or more wearable devices on the first user. Displacement data corresponding to the movements of the first user can be generated based on the streaming sensor data and the indicated type of movement. One or more repetitions represented in one or more corresponding segments of the displacement data can be identified based on the displacement data. The displacement data corresponding to each identified repetition may substantially match a predetermined movement signature associated with the type of movement. One or more performance metrics can be calculated for one or more of the identified repetitions. Instructions can be provided for presenting a user interface including information referencing the performance metrics.

HANDHELD RESPIRATORY DIAGNOSTIC, TRAINING, AND THERAPY DEVICES AND METHODS

Systems and methods directed to handheld respiratory diagnostics, trainings, and therapy are disclosed. More specifically, a device that collects data associated with a user's breathing using sensors, analyzes that data to determine time series readings of one or more health-related vitals, and generates trainings and therapies to assist the user in real time is described.

Interactive exercise and training system and method

A virtual reality (VR) system comprising a head-mounted display (HMD) and handheld controller set is enhanced to provide a more realistic end user VR experience, e.g., for boxing or other interactive training. In this approach, and in lieu of simply establishing a boundary area for the VR experience, the user also maps a position of a real-world object into a reference frame of the VR environment. This mapping is facilitated using the handheld controller itself, e.g., as positioned in a backwards-facing manner on the user's forearm. The real-world object is then simulated in the 3D VR environment as rendered by the VR HMD, and the user interacts with the real-world object (or its simulation) to provide a more enjoyable and useful interactive experience.
