Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a virtual golf simulation apparatus and a method of realizing an image for virtual golf that are capable of realizing an image that provides greater realism to a user who plays golf using images realized on a front screen and on a floor screen in a user golf play space.

Claim (Index 1):
A virtual golf simulation apparatus comprising:\n a sensing device for generating sensing information of a golf ball hit by a user; an image output device for outputting an image simulating a virtual golf course and a virtual ball on the virtual golf course to a front screen provided in front of a location at which the user hits the golf ball and to a floor screen provided on a floor between a shot plate, on which the user takes a golf swing, and the front screen; and a simulator comprising an image-processor for processing an image to be output by the image output device and a controller for performing a calculation in order to realize the simulation image based on the sensing information sensed by the sensing device, performing control such that an occurrence of a predetermined situation is sensed before the user takes a golf shot on the shot plate, performing control such that the image-processor processes an image in which an image for the front screen and an image for the floor screen are changed depending on a predetermined condition, and performing control such that the image is output through the image output device, wherein the controller is configured to receive a result of sensing the golf ball from the sensing device and to determine whether the user is ready to hit the golf ball based on the result of the sensing the golf ball or to determine whether a ball-ready indication indicating that the sensing device is ready to obtain the sensing information according to the hitting of the golf ball by the user is generated based on the result of the sensing the golf ball, and upon determining that the user is ready to hit the golf ball or upon determining that the ball-ready indication is generated, the controller performing control such that the image that is output to the front screen is shifted to the floor screen, whereby the virtual ball appears on the image for the floor screen or disappears from the image for the floor screen as a result of the shift.
