Summary of the Inventive Concept

A system and method for utilizing head mounted displays to track, analyze, and enhance athletic performance, providing real-time feedback and simulation capabilities to improve athlete training and competition.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent focused on systems for adjusting and tracking head mounted displays during surgery. However, the core technology of the patent can be applied to an entirely different industry, field, or problem. In athletic training, the ability to track and analyze athletic movements, provide real-time feedback, and simulate real-world athletic environments is crucial for improving performance. The new inventive concept addresses the limitations of current athletic training methods by leveraging the mechanical adjusting mechanism and head mounted display technology to create a comprehensive athletic performance enhancement system.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The inventive concept comprises a wearable head mounted display configured to track athletic movements, a mechanical adjusting mechanism to adjust the head mounted display in real-time to optimize athletic performance, and a system for analyzing athletic performance and providing real-time feedback to the athlete. The system can be used for various athletic activities, including but not limited to, running, cycling, swimming, and team sports. The mechanical adjusting mechanism enables the head mounted display to rotate, tilt, or rotate and tilt to simulate real-world athletic movements and provide an immersive experience. The system can also be used for virtual try-on of athletic equipment, monitoring athletic fatigue, and immersive athletic simulation.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a novel application of the original patent's technology to the athletic industry, which is non-obvious and not anticipated by the original patent. The combination of the mechanical adjusting mechanism and head mounted display technology to track, analyze, and enhance athletic performance is a new and innovative concept that provides a significant improvement over current athletic training methods.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept could include the use of different types of head mounted displays, such as augmented reality or virtual reality displays, or the integration of additional sensors or tracking systems to provide more comprehensive athletic performance data. Variations of the system could be designed for specific athletic activities or sports, or for use in different environments, such as indoor or outdoor training facilities.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in the athletic industry, with applications in professional sports teams, athletic training facilities, and individual athlete training. The system could be marketed as a comprehensive athletic performance enhancement solution, providing a competitive advantage to athletes and teams that utilize the technology.
