Abstract:
A mixed reality golf simulation and training system that can use, along with a user's existing standard golf equipment, a golf ball launch monitor to track the initial ball positional data, spin and acceleration, and simulate the complete ball path and location or use complete ball tracking data and displays the actual ball path and location. Mixed reality glasses allow the display of ball tracking data over the real world view and/or an immersive display of a simulated world view, depending on the user's head or view position. Golf simulation graphical views can include various options, including simulated or panoramic photographic views of a golf course, simulated graphics and data superimposed over a real world driving range view, or simple ball tracking data superimposed over a real world view at any location.

Claim (Index 52):
A multi-user mixed-reality golf simulation system comprising:\n at least one ball-tracking sub-system configured to generate ball-tracking data of a golf ball over a launch window when the ball is hit by two or more users; two or more near-eye displays including partially-transparent display elements to be worn by the two or more users, wherein each of the two or more users wears a single near-eye display of the two or more near-eye displays, wherein the two or more near-eye displays are configured to display virtual objects over physical objects within user fields of view to provide a mixed-reality environment; wherein the two or more near-eye displays include user input devices, wherein the two or more near-eye displays include head orientation sensors to determine head orientations of the two or more users; and a controller communicatively coupled to the ball-tracking sub-system and the near-eye display, the controller including one or more processors configured to execute program instructions causing the one or more processors to:\n direct the two or more near-eye displays to display, based on head orientations of the two or more users received from the two or more near-eye displays, virtual objects of a common mixed-reality environment from different locations associated with locations of the two or more users, wherein a near-eye display of the two or more near-eye displays worn by a user of the two or more users hitting the ball provides an unobstructed real-world view through the partially-transparent display elements of a location from which the ball is to be hit, wherein the location from which the ball is to be hit is selectable with any of the user input devices of the two or more near-eye displays; \n receive ball-tracking data of balls hit by any of the two or more users in real-time from the at least one ball-tracking sub-system; and \n direct the two or more near-eye displays to display virtual objects representing trajectories of the balls hit by any of the two or more users in real-time, wherein the trajectories are determined based on the ball-tracking data, wherein orientations of the trajectories are displayed on the two or more near-eye displays based on locations of the two or more users within the mixed-reality environment.
