1. A virtual golf simulation apparatus, comprising:
- a image processing unit configured to provide an image of a basic set green on which a user will perform putting;
a manipulation unit configured to provide an interface that enables the user to set a lie of the basic set green by receiving setting information from the user;
a green setting unit configured to generate a user-set green by processing the received setting information via the manipulation unit from the user;
a detection unit configured to generate results of the detection related to at least one of movements of the golf club and the golf ball caused by the putting of the user; and
a simulation unit configured to generate resulting values of a simulation based on results of the detection and green environment parameters;
wherein the image processing unit provides the image of the user-set green,wherein the basic set green is a green that is provided by the virtual golf simulation apparatus, and the user-set green is a virtual green that is provided by the virtual golf simulation apparatus after the user has changed and set the lie of the basic set green,wherein the setting information includes user input for setting direction and degree of inclination of the basic set green,wherein the image processing unit provides the image of the golf ball'"'"'s movement based on the resulting values of the simulation.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are a virtual golf simulation apparatus and method. The virtual golf simulation apparatus includes an image processing unit, a manipulation unit, and a green setting unit. The image processing unit provides an image of a basic set green on which a user will perform putting. The manipulation unit provides an interface that enables the user to set the lie of the basic set green. The green setting unit generates a user-set green by processing received setting information via the manipulation unit. The image processing unit provides the image of the user-set green.
