Methods and systems for improving athletic performance by tracking objects hit or thrown at an electronic display

A system for monitoring objects thrown or hit by an athlete, comprising:

• an electronic display, wherein the electronic display contains an arrangement of light-emitting devices for displaying targets to the athlete;
• one or more cameras, wherein a first set of cameras of the one or more cameras is positioned to observe the electronic display, and a second set of cameras of the one or more cameras is positioned to observe an object thrown or hit toward the electronic display;
• and
• a computer coupled to the electronic display and the one or more cameras, wherein the computer is configured to:
• determine, relative to the electronic display, where the object is thrown or hit based on video received from the one or more cameras, and
• calculate an effective velocity of the object based on a selected perspective, wherein the selected perspective corresponds to a location of a virtual athlete associated with the electronic display.
