Remote augmented motor-sensory interface for surgery

A portable augmented motor-sensory interface (“PAMI”) system for “tele-controlled” surgery includes a PAMI tele-controller and a portable PAMI medical field unit positioned at a different, distant location and configured for wireless communications with the tele-controller. (“Tele-control” refers to electronically translating and / or transmitting a physician's actions over a long distance.) The field unit has a surgical module, including robotic effectors / arms, configured for carrying out medical procedures, and a video sensor boom for electronically viewing a wound site. The tele-controller has a user interface with input controls and a display that outputs sensory information relating to the patient and field unit. For treating a patient, the field unit is deployed next to the patient and a communications link is established to the tele-controller. A physician at the tele-controller receives sensory input from the field unit through the user interface display, and manipulates the input controls for tele-controlling the surgical module.

Broadcasting system for broadcasting images with augmented motion data

A broadcasting system for broadcasting images with augmented motion data, which includes at least one camera, a computer and a wireless communication interface. The system obtains data from motion capture elements, analyzes data and optionally stores data in database for use in broadcasting applications, virtual reality applications and / or data mining. The system also recognizes at least one motion capture data element associated with a user or piece of equipment, and receives data associated with the motion capture element via the wireless communication interface. The system also enables unique displays associated with the user, such as 3D overlays onto images of the user to visually depict the captured motion data. Ratings, compliance, ball flight path data can be calculated and displayed, for example on a map or timeline or both. Furthermore, the system enables performance related equipment fitting and purchase.

Enhancing movement training with an augmented reality mirror

One embodiment of the invention disclosed herein provides techniques for controlling a movement training environment. A movement training system retrieves a movement object from a set of movement objects. The movement training system attains first motion capture data associated with a first user performing a movement based on the movement object. The movement training system generates a first articulable representation based on the first motion capture data. The movement training system compares at least one first joint position related to the first articulable representation with at least one second joint position related to a second articulable representation associated with the movement object. The movement training system calculates a first similarity score based on a difference between the at least one first joint position and the at least one second joint position.

Portable gym using gravitational forces

A portable gym using gravitational forces of the present invention includes a gravity gym assembly and a belt harness. The gravity gym assembly includes a door anchor that is attachable to any doorway having a door, and an adjustable strap that leads to a pulley through which a cable passes. The cable is equipped with detachable handles on each end and may be advanced back and forth through the pulley when forces are applied to the handles. A series of exercises may be accomplished by varying body position, and exercises the entire body by using the person's body weight for resistance. In an alternative embodiment, the portable gym using gravitational forces may include attachment of the cable ends to the belt harness worn around the waist of the athlete and provides for the stabilization and application of resistance on the body while exercising. Exercises that are primarily performed in the gym, including, strengthening shoulder, arm, chest, back, leg, and abdominal core muscle groups, and performing cardiovascular and plyometric movements, can be performed virtually anywhere using the portable gym using gravitational forces of the present invention.

Functional control / grip-enhanced sports glove for bowling

ActiveUS20060205526A1Control/grip-enhancing and abrasion-resistant propertyProvide feelingBowling gamesIndoor gamesPerspirationHand size
The present invention is a modified glove with control / grip-enhancing and perspiration retention properties, offering the bowler a range of functions and options specific to the individual bowler's abilities, equipment selection (i.e. bowling ball), and the lane conditions faced. An elastomeric, control / grip-enhancing material circumferences the fingertips of at least one finger, providing a similar shape and feel to the commonly used, cylindrical inserts / grips; the glove designed to be used in lieu of finger inserts. The present glove invention can be interchangeable between right and left-handed bowlers of approximately the same hand size. The perspiration retentive fabric combined with the elastomeric, control / grip-enhancing material eliminates or significantly reduces perspiration from an otherwise naked inserted finger, which normally has contact with the hole(s) of a bowling ball. Consequently, the present glove invention results in more consistent control and release of the ball off the hand, increased ball energy, increased ball motion and revolution potential, a higher impact between ball and pins, leading to more lively pin scattering, all of which ultimately results in higher scoring potential. Functionality and performance characteristics of various embodiments of the glove invention provide the bowler a range of control / grip-enhanced, textured and non-textured surface materials at the fingertip area of the glove. Likewise, the control / grip enhanced material of the palm area of the glove works to grip the surface of the bowling ball. The ball position in the cupped and gloved hand is maintained even though the bowler moves his / her hand slightly either away from towards or laterally with respect to the bowling ball. Embodiments of the glove invention offer the bowlers a variety of options for the fingers, as well as for support around the wrist area.
