Mixed reality sport simulation and training system

A mixed-reality sport simulation system comprising:

• a near-eye display including a partially-transparent display element configured to display virtual objects over physical objects within a user field of view to provide a mixed-reality environment, wherein the near-eye display includes a user input device, wherein the near-eye display includes one or more head orientation sensors to determine a head orientation of the user;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled to the near-eye display and configured to receive tracking data from a launch monitor, the controller including one or more processors configured to execute program instructions causing the one or more processors to:
• direct the near-eye display to display, based on a head orientation of the user received from the near-eye display, virtual objects of a mixed-reality environment within at least a portion of the user field of view when the near-eye display indicates that the user is looking in a target direction, wherein the near-eye display provides an at least partially unobstructed real-world view through the partially-transparent display element when the near-eye display indicates that the user is looking in a direction different than the target direction;
• receive tracking data of a sport object launched by the user in real-time from the launch monitor;
• and
• direct the near-eye display to display a virtual object representing a trajectory of the sport object within the mixed-reality environment in real-time after the user launches the sport object, wherein the trajectory of the sport object is based on the tracking data.

A multi-user mixed-reality sport simulation system comprising:

• two or more near-eye displays, each near-eye display including a partially-transparent display element to be worn by at least one of two or more users, wherein the two or more near-eye displays are configured to display virtual objects over physical objects within user fields of view to provide a mixed-reality environment, wherein each of the two or more near-eye displays include a user input device, wherein each of the two or more near-eye displays include a head orientation sensor to determine head orientations of the two or more users;
• and
• a controller communicatively configured to the two or more near-eye displays and configured to receive tracking data from at least one launch monitor, the controller including one or more processors configured to execute program instructions causing the one or more processors to:
• direct the two or more near-eye displays to display, based on head orientations of the two or more users received from the two or more near-eye displays, virtual objects of a common mixed-reality environment from different locations associated with locations of the two or more users, wherein a near-eye display of the two or more near-eye displays worn by a user of the two or more users launching a sport object provides an unobstructed real-world view through the partially-transparent display elements of a location from which the sport object is to be launched when the near-eye display worn by the user launching the sport object indicates that the user launching the sport object is looking in the direction from which the sport object is to be launched, wherein the location from which the sport object is to be launched is selectable with a user input device on the near-eye display worn by the user launching the sport object;
• receive ball-tracking data of one or more sport objects launched by any of the two or more users in real-time from the at least one launch monitor;
• and
• direct the two or more near-eye displays to display virtual objects representing trajectories of the one or more sport objects launched by at least one of the two or more users in real-time, wherein the trajectories are determined based on the tracking data, wherein the trajectories are displayed on the two or more near-eye displays based on the locations of the two or more users within the mixed-reality environment.
