Moving Screen Booth Layout for Seamless Hybrid Golf Play
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional hybrid golf systems lack realism as players move back and forth between a real field and a screen golf system, failing to provide a seamless experience akin to playing on an actual golf course.
Innovation Solution
A hybrid golf system using a moving screen booth that rotates or moves to simulate different holes, integrating a screen booth with a virtual golf simulation device and a real field, allowing seamless transitions between virtual and real golf play.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed screen golf system is used for virtual golf play, then the system structure is simple and easy to operate, but the realism and variety of different holes are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The screen booth is made movable instead of fixed, allowing it to be repositioned to different locations on the golf course. This dynamic positioning enables the system to simulate different holes and perspectives, enhancing realism without requiring multiple separate systems. The movable screen booth creates dynamic viewing angles and perspectives that mimic actual golf course experiences.
Solution Approach 2:
A single screen booth serves multiple functions by being relocated to different positions on the golf course. Rather than requiring separate fixed installations for each hole, one universal screen booth can simulate various holes and perspectives through movement, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining versatility.
2Ease of operation
If players move back and forth between real field and fixed screen system, then the system is easy to operate, but the seamless transition and realistic experience are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The movable screen booth dynamically positions itself near the player's current location on the golf course, eliminating the need for players to repeatedly return to a fixed starting point. This dynamic repositioning creates seamless transitions between real and virtual play, maintaining ease of operation while enhancing the realistic experience.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a movable screen booth is used to simulate different holes, then the realism and variety of holes are improved, but the system complexity and operational difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The screen booth is equipped with autonomous navigation capabilities that allow it to move to predetermined positions automatically without requiring manual operation. The system self-manages the complex movement and positioning tasks, reducing operational difficulty while maintaining the ability to simulate various holes and perspectives.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback mechanisms to track the player's position and automatically adjusts the screen booth's location accordingly. This feedback-driven automation simplifies operation by eliminating the need for players to manually control the complex movement, while still providing variety through adaptive repositioning.

AI summary
It is an object of the present invention to provide a hybrid golf system using a screen booth where virtual golf play is performed using a virtual golf simulation device and an actual field where actual golf play such as an approach shot or putting is performed, wherein a golf course having a plurality of different holes is implemented by rotating or moving the screen booth where the virtual golf play is performed, thereby providing a realistic experience as if the user is playing golf in different holes while moving between each of the plurality of holes.
