1. A system for enhancing a presentation of an athletic event, comprising:
- a processor; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium storing machine readable instructions executable by the processor to perform a method comprising;
receiving data from a sensor located in one of a mouth guard and a lip guard worn a first athlete, the data representing an impact applied to the first athlete by a second athlete;
determining one of an linear acceleration, angular velocity, angular acceleration, a force and orientation induced by the impact from the data received from the sensor at a location of interest within the head or neck the first athlete, the location of interest being remote from the sensor;
selecting a strike class, including at least a type and handedness of a strike, associated with the impact from the determined one of the linear acceleration, angular velocity, angular acceleration, force and orientation of the sensor at the location of interest on the first athlete induced by the impact; and
displaying a representation of the selected strike class comprising an animation of the first athlete receiving an impact represented by the selected strike class from the second athlete and the second athlete delivering an impact associated with the selected strike class to an audience of the athletic event.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for enhancing a presentation of an athletic event. Data is received at a sensor located at a first location on a first athlete. The data represents an impact applied to the first athlete by a second athlete. One of an acceleration and a force at a second location on the first athlete induced by the impact is determined. A representation of the determined one of the acceleration and the force at the second location on the first athlete is displayed to an audience of the athletic event.

9. A system for enhancing a presentation of an athletic event, the system comprising:
-
a sensor assembly being located in one of a mouth guard and a lip guard worn by the athlete, positioned at an associated measurement point on the head of an athlete, configured to measure at least one of a linear acceleration, an angular acceleration, an angular velocity and an orientation of the head at the associated measurement point during an impact to the head; a sensor interface configured to receive the measured at least one of a linear acceleration, an angular acceleration, an angular velocity and an orientation of the head at the associated measurement point and determine an acceleration of a location of interest on one of a head and neck of the athlete, the location of interest being remote from the measurement point and determine an acceleration at a center of gravity of the athlete'"'"'s head; a user interface accessible to at least one member of an audience of the athletic event and configured to allow the at least one member of the audience to define a condition related to the representation of the determined acceleration and a wager contingent on a future occurrence of the defined condition; and a display configured to communicate a representation of the determined acceleration of the location of interest to the audience of the athletic event. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)

12. A system for enhancing a presentation of an athletic event, the system comprising:
-
a sensor interface configured to determine an acceleration of a location of interest on one of a head and a neck of an athlete from provided sensor data in response to an impact on the athlete; a feature calculation component configured to calculate a plurality of impact parameters from the determined acceleration of the location of interest; a pattern recognition classifier configured to associate the impact to the athlete with an associated strike class of a plurality of strike classes, each representing at least a type and handedness of a strike, according to the calculated plurality of impact parameters, wherein each strike class represents a specific type of strike that can be received by the athlete; and a display configured to communicate the associated strike class to an audience of the sporting event. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
