Patent Images
1. A system for training sensory and physical skills, the system comprising:
- eyewear that alters at least the quantity of visual information available to an individual performing a first training task while wearing the eyewear;
at least one display integrated into the eyewear within the field of view of the individual wearing the eyewear;
at least one sensor that measures at least one performance parameter while the individual performs the first training task; and
at least one control unit that controls the at least one display to cause the at least one display to provide instructions to the individual wearing the eyewear for performing a second physical training task, the at least one control unit receiving the at least one performance parameter from the at least one sensor and causing the second training task to vary in difficulty from the first training task based upon the at least one performance parameter.

Abstract
Physical and/or sensory skills may be trained by varying the quantity of sensory information available to an individual, the quality of sensory information available to an individual, and/or the difficulty of physical training performed by an individual. Eyewear may control the quantity/quality of visual information available to an individual and may provided an integrated heads-up display that communicates instructions to vary the difficulty of training tasks. The difficulty of training may be varied in response to sensor measurements descriptive of the physiology and/or performance of an individual training.

8. A method for training the sensory and physical skills an individual, the method comprising:
-
providing eyewear to the individual, the eyewear obscuring at least a portion of the vision of the individual at a first predetermined frequency such that a first quantity of visual information is available to the individual during training comprising physical training tasks directed by a display viewable by the individual and integral to the eyewear; while the individual performs physical training tasks as directed by the display and with at least a portion of the individual'"'"'s vision obscured by the eyewear at the first predetermined frequency, measuring at least one physiological metric descriptive of the physiological response of the individual to the training using a sensor worn by the individual; analyzing the at least one physiological metric measured by the at least one sensor worn by the individual to determine whether the difficulty of a second training task should be greater than the difficulty of the first training task or lesser in difficulty than the first training task; and displaying at least one symbol to the individual using the display to instruct the individual to perform a second training task having greater difficulty than the first training task or having lesser difficulty than the first training task as determined by analyzing the at least one physiological metric. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method for synchronizing the training the of sensory and physical skills of an individual, the method comprising:
-
providing eyewear to the individual to wear while performing a plurality of training tasks, the eyewear operating under the direction of a control unit to vary at least the quantity of visual information transmitted through the eyewear to the individual; providing instructions to the individual directing the performance of the plurality of training tasks using a display integrated into the eyewear and visible to the individual; using at least one physiological sensor, measuring at least one physiological trait of the individual while the individual performs the plurality of training tasks and transmitting measurements of the at least one physiological trait to the control unit; and at the control unit, adjusting the instructions directing the performance of the plurality of training tasks based upon the measurements of the at least one physiological sensor to increase the difficulty of training if the measurements indicate a successful performance of the training tasks and to decrease the difficulty of the training if the measurements indicate an unsuccessful performance of the training tasks. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
