Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to sport augmentation systems. For example, aspects of the present disclosure include systems and techniques for assessing a path of a ball during a sporting session to be used to augment a sporting experience. On example method includes receiving one or more frames capturing image data associated with movement of a ball on a surface during a sporting session, determine a state associated with throwing the ball based on the one or more frames, perform an assessment of the surface on which the ball is thrown, predict a path of the ball as thrown on the surface based on the state associated with the ball and the assessment of the surface, and output an indication of the path to be displayed on a display element.
Claims20
An apparatus for path analysis, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors being configured to:
- receive one or more frames capturing image data associated with movement of a ball on a surface during a sporting session;
- determine a state associated with throwing the ball based on the one or more frames;
- perform an assessment of the surface on which the ball is thrown;
- predict a path of the ball as thrown on the surface based on the state associated with the ball and the assessment of the surface;
- and
- output an indication of the path to be displayed on a display element.
A bowling ball, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a signal indicating an interaction of the bowling ball with a virtual representation of an obstacle on a bowling lane;
- and
- a haptic device coupled to the receiver, wherein the haptic device is configured to change a movement of the bowling ball based on the signal.
A system for path analysis, comprising:
- a movement assessment component configured to determine a state associated with throwing a ball based on one or more frames capturing image data associated with movement of the ball on a surface during a sporting session;
- a surface assessment component communicably coupled to the movement assessment component and configured to perform an assessment of the surface on which the ball is thrown;
- and
- a path prediction component communicably coupled to the movement assessment component and the surface assessment component, the path prediction component being configured to:
- predict a path of the ball as thrown on the surface based on the state associated with the ball and the assessment of the surface;
- and
- output an indication of the path to be displayed on a display element.
