This invention describes a system for practicing sports using mixed reality. It tracks a sports object, like a golf ball or baseball, either by its initial launch or its entire flight, and then shows you its path. You wear special partially-transparent glasses that can overlay this information directly onto your real-world view, or show you a fully simulated sports environment, depending on where you look, and the claims specify using nets or tethers to stop the object.
Why it matters: Filed when consumer mixed reality hardware was nascent. By 2026, advanced AR/VR headsets offer significantly improved visual fidelity, tracking, and processing power, making the immersive and overlay experiences described more feasible and compelling for consumers.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
