RU222704U1 - SPORTS EQUIPMENT FOR SPORTS SIMULATORS AND VIRTUAL REALITY GAMES - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to devices designed to limit human movement when using sports simulators and games in virtual reality that require active movements and movements; they are subject to the following requirements:

- limit a person’s movement to prevent injury and damage to equipment used;

- ensure comfort from using sports simulators and games in virtual reality. Taking into account the fact that the use of various barriers and obstacles reduces the realism of simulators and games that require active movements and movement. The model takes these requirements into account. A person stands on the stove and puts on a belt with stretchable cords securing it. As a result, it finds itself in the center of a comfortable area for movement, limited by the stretching length of the cords. What is important is that this area is not strictly limited. A person does not run into a wall or barrier, but feels increasing resistance as he approaches the border of his comfort zone and is forced to stop moving.

Description

The utility model relates to sports equipment, namely to devices that limit a person’s movements while using sports simulators and games in virtual reality that require active movements and movements.

Goal: flexibly restrict a person's movements, leaving an accessible area for movement without any barriers or fences.

The goal is achieved by: using stretchable cords to secure a person, the limits of the stretching length of which determine the accessible area for movement.

Important disadvantages of existing devices:

Rigid fixation of a person, making it impossible for him to move and make active movements.

The use of various barriers or obstacles to restrict movement reduces the realism of using sports simulators and virtual reality games that require active movement and movements.

When using devices that use barriers to restrict a person's movement, there is a possibility of injury or damage to the equipment used (joysticks, manipulators, helmet or glasses) from these barriers.

The utility model drawing shows Figure 1, which shows a block diagram of the utility model.

The following requirements apply to devices that limit a person’s movement while using sports simulators and games in virtual reality that require active movements and movements:

Maintain realism when using sports simulators and virtual reality games;

Minimize the likelihood of injury or damage to the equipment used (joysticks, manipulators, helmet or glasses).

Sports equipment for practicing sports simulators and games in virtual reality consists of a plate of dense material (1) on which a person stands. The area of the slab slightly exceeds the area of comfortable movement of a person while using sports simulators and virtual reality games that require active movements and movements.

Two stretchable cords (2) come out of the plate in front and behind the person and are attached to a belt (3), which the person puts on.

A distinctive feature of the projectile is the absence of barriers and other structural elements that strictly limit human movement.

The closest alternative to the model is sports equipment from various manufacturers, which use barriers around a person, limiting his movements to a small area free to move.

Unlike a utility model, a person, during a sports simulation or game, runs into a barrier, which reduces the realism of the process and increases the likelihood of injury or equipment damage.

Advantages of the model over other sports equipment:

The person is in the center of a comfortable area for movement, limited by the stretch length of the tourniquets. This area is not strictly limited. A person does not run into a wall or barrier, but feels increasing resistance as he approaches the border of his comfort zone and is forced to stop moving.

The model has no solid structural elements within the direct reach of a person, which reduces the risk of injury, as well as damage to the equipment used (joysticks, manipulators, helmet or glasses).

Claims (1)

Sports equipment that allows you to limit a person’s movements during the use of sports simulators and games in virtual reality that require movements and movements, consisting of a plate of hard material, made with the possibility of placing a person on it, and two cords, made with the possibility of stretching, extending from the plate and attached to the belt in such a way that when putting this belt on a person, the harnesses are located in front and behind the person.
