Abstract
A system configured to be coupled with a participant of an activity. The system comprises: a participant activity monitoring unit configured for monitoring a performance of the activity by the participant; an activity information module configured for storing performance information corresponding to the activity; and a participant performance correlator configured for delivering comparative performance data based on the monitored performance of the activity by the participant and the stored performance information.
Claims30
A system for simulating an activity along a geographical route, the system comprising:
- a computer device configured to receive data related to the geographical route and to use the received data to simulate the geographical route;
- a training device configured to communicate with the computer device, and wherein the training device is further configured to be controlled by data or instructions received from the computer device to simulate the geographical route;
- wherein the computer device is configured to collect and display operational data of the training device and biometric data of a user using the training device to experience the simulated geographical route;
- and
- wherein the computer device is further configured to display course, elevation profile, and simulated location of the user relative to the geographical route during use of the training device.
A system for simulating an activity along a geographical route, the system comprising:
- a computer device configured to provide information simulating the geographical route, the computer device further configured to receive data related to a first performance of the activity along the geographical route;
- a training device configured to communicate with the computer device, and wherein the training device is further configured to be controlled by data or instructions received from the computer device;
- wherein the computer device is configured to collect operational data of the training device, and wherein the computer device utilizes the operational data of the training device to control the training device and provide a user of the training device with a simulated performance of the activity along the geographical route;
- and
- wherein the computer device is configured to generate comparative performance data by comparing the data related to the first performance of the activity with the user's simulated performance of the activity along the geographical route.
