Hybrid Golf System Screen Shutter for Virtual-Real Transition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional hybrid golf systems fail to naturally connect virtual golf courses on screens with actual fields, resulting in a disjointed experience for users due to the difference between the projected virtual environment and the real field, disrupting the realism of the game.
Innovation Solution
A hybrid golf system incorporating a screen golf module with a screen shutter that projects a virtual golf course image and can open to reveal the actual field, allowing seamless transition from virtual to actual golf play by controlling the screen shutter to align the user's experience between the two environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a screen is used to display virtual golf course images, then virtual golf simulation capability is improved, but the realism and natural connection to actual field play deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The screen shutter transitions from a static display surface to a dynamic element that can open and close. During virtual golf play, the shutter remains closed to display the virtual course; during actual field play, it opens to reveal the real field, creating a dynamic transition that maintains realism while enabling versatile play modes
Solution Approach 2:
The screen shutter acts as an intermediary element between the virtual and actual environments. It serves as both the display medium for virtual golf images and the physical barrier that separates the two play modes, mediating the transition and maintaining the illusion of continuity for the user
2Reliability
If the screen shutter opens to reveal the actual field, then the natural connection and realism are improved, but the immersion in virtual environment during virtual play deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The screen shutter operates periodically, remaining closed during virtual golf play to maintain immersion and opening only during transitions to actual field play. This periodic action ensures that the virtual environment remains undisturbed during its intended use while allowing seamless transitions when needed
3Adaptability or versatility
If a hybrid golf system combines virtual and actual field play, then versatility and enjoyment are improved, but the complexity of the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The screen shutter serves multiple functions: it acts as the display screen for virtual golf, serves as a physical barrier separating virtual and actual play areas, and functions as a transition mechanism between the two modes. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby managing system complexity while enabling hybrid play capability

AI summary
It is an object of the present invention to provide a hybrid golf system and control method for the same that can further improve the realism of golf play by naturally connecting a virtual golf course on an image projected on a screen and an actual field to naturally convert from a virtual golf play through the virtual golf course image to a field play on the actual field. The above object can be accomplished by the provision of a hybrid golf system comprising a screen golf module in which a virtual golf play can be performed, an actual field on which an actual golf play can be performed, and a screen shutter provided on a wall of the screen golf module facing the actual field.
