System and method for tracking and assessing movement skills in multidimensional space
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A method for prompting a user to engage in a physical activity, the method comprising:
- causing displaying of a representation of the user on a monitor, wherein the displaying of the representation includes moving the representation of the user to reflect movement of the user;
causing displaying of one or more virtual objects on the monitor, wherein the displaying of the one or more virtual objects includes displaying the one or more virtual objects to prompt physical motion of the user; and
causing reporting of at least one indicium of physical activity performance of the user;
wherein the causing displaying of the one or more virtual objects includes causing displaying of plural virtual objects on the monitor;
wherein the virtual objects include targets; and
wherein the causing displaying of the virtual objects includes prompting the user to perform an interception task that includes the representation of the user moving to have the representation of the user intercept at least some of the targets.

Abstract
Accurate simulation of sport to quantify and train performance constructs by employing sensing electronics for determining, in essentially real time, the player'"'"'s three dimensional positional changes in three or more degrees of freedom (three dimensions); and computer controlled sport specific cuing that evokes or prompts sport specific responses from the player that are measured to provide meaningful indicia of performance. The sport specific cuing is characterized as a virtual opponent that is responsive to, and interactive with, the player in real time. The virtual opponent continually delivers and/or responds to stimuli to create realistic movement challenges for the player.

14. A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon for execution by a processor to perform a method comprising:
-
displaying a representation of a user on a monitor, wherein the displaying of the representation includes moving the representation of the user to reflect movement of the user; displaying one or more virtual objects on the monitor, wherein the displaying of the one or more virtual objects includes displaying the one or more virtual objects to prompt physical motion of the user; and reporting at least one indicium of physical activity performance of the user; wherein the virtual objects include targets; and wherein the displaying the virtual objects of the method includes prompting the user to perform an interception task that includes the representation of the user moving to have the representation of the user intercept at least some of the targets. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
