1. A system for improving the physical skills of a user performing a given activity, comprising:
- an imaging device for registering performance images of a user during a performance of the given physical activity by the user;
a direct-sight viewer for displaying the registered performance images to the user;
a processing station electronically connected to the imaging device and to the direct-sight viewer for receiving the registered performance images from the imaging device and relaying the registered performance images to said direct-sight viewer in substantially real-time; and
generated images of an instructional performance of the physical activity, wherein the processing station superimposes the generated images and the registered performance images.

Abstract
A method and system for improving the physical skills of a user performing a given activity. In the method and system, processed images of the user during the performance of the activity are gathered and displayed to the user in real-time using a viewer. Images are generated of an idealized instructional performance of the activity. The generated images are simultaneously displayed with the gathered and processed images, and may be customized to the physical characteristics of the user.

34. A method for improving the physical skills of a user performing a given activity, comprising:
-
generating images of an instructional performance of the given activity;
providing the user with a direct-sight viewer;
registering performance images of the user performing the given activity using an imaging device;
superimposing the generated images over the registered performance images to create combined images; and
transmitting the combined images to the direct-sight viewer thereby displaying the combined images to the user in substantially real time as the user performs the given activity. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)
