Description

Virtual Reality Movement System {SYSTEM FOR VIRTUAL REALITY SPORTS}

The present invention relates to a virtual reality exercise system, and more particularly, by hitting an actual ball with a striking member in a small space, it is possible to realize the actual state of hitting the ball in virtual reality, thereby increasing the sense of reality and securing the diversity of opponents. It relates to a virtual reality movement system.

In general, baseball is a game in which the catcher receives the baseball thrown by the pitcher and the batter hits the ball to score.

When the batter practiced batting, the batter hits the ball when one person threw the ball, or he practiced batting the flying ball using a baseball batting practice device that periodically fires a baseball.

Alternatively, if the user is a beginner, a woman, or a child, he may hit with a bat using a T-ball in which the ball is fixed on a support of a certain height.

In this way, since baseball requires a certain number of people and a relatively large space, there are human and time-space limitations for the general public to freely enjoy the baseball game.

In order to solve this problem, a hitting practice field provided with a pitching machine is provided in the related art, but in the case of such a hitting practice field, there is a limit in which it is practically impossible to select a pitch or respond to various environments.

In addition, there is a problem in that the sense of reality and fun such as strikes, outs, or acquisition of points are remarkably deteriorated because the game of unilateral hitting progresses.

To solve this problem, an indoor screen ballpark has been installed and operated in the past.This indoor screen ballpark has a large installation space, so initial investment and monthly maintenance costs are excessive.In order to reduce this, shortening the pitching distance effectively increases the efficiency of batting practice. Falls and pitches of pitch are extremely limited.

In addition, since the conventional indoor screen ballpark uses vision or optical sensors, the sensors are relatively expensive, so a lot of manufacturing costs are required, and the results of hits or home runs are presented according to the pattern of the batted ball, resulting in poor accuracy.

The operation of the support unit 30 configured as described above will be described in detail as follows.

First, when an experienced person hits the hitting ball 300 using the hitting member 400, the hitting ball 300 is separated from the left and right extension members 38 and flies. At this time, the wire 34 is unwound from the winding drum 33. After completing the swing, when the user inputs a return signal by operating the switch 41 for the next hit, the operation control unit operates the rotary motor to rotate the winding drum 33 so that the wire 34 is wound. The hitting ball 300 is moved by the wire 34 wound on the winding drum 33 and is positioned at one end of the left and right extension members 38, which are the initial positions.

The support unit 30 is not in a state in which the striking ball 300 is fixed to the left and right extension members 38 but can be separated by striking, so that the movement of the striking ball 300 hit by the experienced It is relatively similar to the movement, so that the trajectory calculation unit 610 can increase the accuracy in calculating the hitting trajectory, and the hitting ball 300 is easily initialized after the hit by the winding drum 33 that winds up the wire 34. There is an advantage of being able to return to the position.

At this time, the control unit 510 of the control unit 500 controls the support unit 200 to move the hitting ball 300 in the direction of the experiencer corresponding to the ball flying in the direction of the batter in the virtual image. It is desirable.

Looking at the operating state according to the virtual reality baseball game system of the present invention consisting of the system as described above is as follows.

In a state in which the user wears the virtual reality (VR) device 100 and holds the striking member 400, a 3D virtual image is implemented in the virtual reality (VR) device 100 under the control of the control unit 500. .

In this case, the position and operation of the striking member 400 held by the user to the virtual reality (VR) device 100 may be equally applied.

In addition, when the operation unit 520 is operated to select the speed, direction and type of the ball connected to the support unit 200, the drive motor M of the support unit 200 is driven according to a signal from the control unit 510. The first and second supports 210 and 210a, the first and second upper and lower guide bars 220 and 220a, the front and rear guide bars 230, and the left and right guide members 240 are operated according to the control signals, respectively, and are connected to the fixing rod 250. It is to transfer the dragon ball (300).

In addition, the position to which the striking ball 300 connected to the support unit 200 is transported is applied in the same manner as the virtual ball position shown in the virtual reality (VR) device 100.

In this way, when the support unit 200 located in close proximity to the user is operated under the control of the controller 500 and the actual hitting ball 300 is transferred according to the manipulation of the operation unit 520, the user can use virtual reality ( VR) See the virtual ball implemented in the device 100 and swing the striking member 400.

In addition, when the hitting member 400 is swung and hitting the actual hitting ball 300 with the hitting member 400, the impact of the hitting ball 300 in the impact detection unit 310 and the positioning detection sensor 410 and The hitting position of the hitting member 400 is sensed, and when the detected signal is sent to the control unit 500, the control unit 510 controls it to be the same as the actual ball in the virtual environment of the virtual reality (VR) device 100. The applied virtual ball hitting state is realized.

In addition, when striking the striking ball 300 with the striking member 400, the impact is alleviated by the fixing rod 250 made of an elastic synthetic resin material or spring, so that the striking ball 300 returns to its original position. .

Accordingly, while the user is wearing the virtual reality (VR) device 100, while holding the striking member 400, the actual striking ball 300 is transferred through the support unit 200 located at a short distance, while the striking member ( By being able to hit the ball 300 for hitting with 400), it is possible to implement a realistic game even in a narrow space, thereby reducing cost, and not only baseball, but also various ball games and hand or hand hitting the ball with tools such as table tennis, etc. It can be applied to a martial arts event that hits people or objects using gloves, and it is possible to increase training efficiency.

As described above, the present invention is not limited to the specific preferred embodiments described above, and any person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains without departing from the gist of the present invention claimed in the claims can be modified in various ways. It goes without saying that implementation is possible, and such changes are within the scope of the description of the claims.
