Description

Augmented Reality Golf Simulation Apparatus and its Method {METHOD AND DEVICE FOR GOLF SIMULATION USING AUGMENTED REALITY}

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for augmented reality golf simulation, and more specifically, to a golf, an event injection mechanism for producing a wind, aroma, soap bubbles, lighting, fog effect, lighting device, image / depth sensor or a motion sensor An apparatus and method for augmented reality golf simulation that provides a simulation game environment.

Unlike golf, which was not easily available due to cost, place, and time constraints to enjoy as a hobby, the screen golf course, which is cheaper than golf course and can be enjoyed without restrictions on place and time, has recently been near work or home. With this, anyone can easily play golf simulation games. In addition, with the continuous development of screen simulation games, the entertainment is enhanced, and the online network is activated, users are enjoying the greatest boom as their swing posture is corrected and participate in various competitions and events. However, as more and more people play screen golf games, and users' expectations are rising, the screen golf environment is demanding to change into a more realistic environment.

Conventional screen golf course, however, hits a golf ball at the plate at the front of a large project screen to detect the speed of the club head, the angle, the number of revolutions of the golf ball, etc. It was far from the augmented reality golf simulation device. Recently, a product of motion capture technology using 3D analysis using several 3D cameras has been released, but a golf screen simulation game using 4D technology that satisfies all five senses was impossible.
