Mixed-reality sports tracking and simulation

A mixed-reality sport simulation system comprising:

• a projectile-tracking sub-system configured to generate projectile-tracking data over a selected portion of a trajectory of a projectile launched by a user;
• a near-eye display configured to display a mixed-reality scene including virtual objects displayed over physical objects within a field of view of the user,
• wherein the near-eye display includes one or more sensors to determine a head orientation of the user;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled to the projectile-tracking sub-system and the near-eye display, the controller including one or more processors configured to execute program instructions causing the one or more processors to:
• identify a projectile source for directing a projectile toward the user;
• direct the near-eye display to provide an unobstructed real-world view of the projectile source regardless of the head orientation of the user;
• receive projectile-tracking data of a projectile from the projectile source after the projectile is launched by the user;
• and
• direct the near-eye display to display one or more virtual objects indicative of at least a portion of the projectile-tracking data.

A mixed-reality sport simulation system comprising:

• a projectile-tracking sub-system configured to generate projectile-tracking data of a projectile over a launch window when the projectile is launched by a user;
• a near-eye display configured to display mixed-reality virtual objects displayed over physical objects within a field of view of the user, wherein the near-eye display includes a user input device;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled to the projectile-tracking sub-system and the near-eye display, 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 a mixed-reality environment including virtual objects depicting one or more elements of an athletic field within at least a portion of the user field of view, wherein a location of the user within the mixed-reality environment is selectable via the user input device;
• receive projectile-tracking data of a projectile over the launch window in real-time from the projectile-tracking sub-system as the user launches the projectile;
• and
• direct the near-eye display to display a virtual object representing the projectile moving along a predicted trajectory after the launch window within the mixed-reality environment, wherein the predicted trajectory is determined based on the projectile-tracking data over the launch window.
