Definitions

• the invention relates to a learning and exercise aid for learning and / or improving the human movement sequence, in particular sport movement sequences using a video camera and at least one monitor or projector with a screen.
• a learning aid for the movement sequence when swinging a golf club is known from US Pat. No. 3,353,282.
• an image of the golf instructor is projected onto a coated mirror when a golf club is swinging.
• the student stands in front of the mirror and can use a reference point take the same position as the teacher. He can now either memorize the teacher's swing or follow the teacher's swing movements simultaneously.
• All known learning and exercise aids have the disadvantage that the user cannot watch these aids while exercising their sporting movement sequence.
• it is e.g. B. in ballet dancing or theater, known to perform the movements in front of a play gel. But this is with a sporty movement sequence, e.g. B. when hitting a golf ball or when hitting a tennis ball, this is only possible with difficulty, since on the one hand the operator sees himself only in mirror image and on the other hand the head has to move away from the ball and towards the mirror so that a stroke corresponding to reality is not carried out can.
• Devices are also known with which distant images can be viewed on miniature monitors.
• the monitors In order to bring the monitors as close as possible to the eyes, they are arranged in a housing that can be attached to the viewer's head by means of a holder.
• the monitors can be viewed through eyepiece lenses, which can be adjusted using adjustment devices and adapted to the eye relief of the user (DE-OS 36 28 458 and DE-OS 38 29 011).
• These known devices are for viewing stereoscopically displayed objects and movements as three-dimensional television pictures on miniature monitors.
• a device with which images recorded by a camera are projected onto a screen. The screen and the projector are in a helmet sitting on the viewer's head (US Pat. No. 3,916,094).
• the housing with the monitor arranged therein is held on the head in such a way that, in the working position, the adjustable eyepiece lenses which are connected to the monitor via reflex mirrors are located directly in front of the user's eyes.
• the holder can have the shape of a temple or be designed like a helmet.
• An eyepiece lens is advantageously provided for each eye.
• the eyepiece lenses can be adjusted to the eye relief of the user by means of an adjusting device.
• the focus of the eyepiece lenses is carried out via an eyepiece adjustment.
• the monitor image is perceived enlarged by the viewer due to the reflex mirrors arranged in the housing.
• the monitor image is advantageously visible as a partial area in the field of vision of the eyepiece lenses, so that the user sees his movement sequence in the monitor and his immediate surroundings during exercise.
• This advantage also exists when the video image is projected on a transparent screen, since the viewer sees the surroundings and himself on the screen at the same time.
• the image transmission from the video camera to the monitor or projector can take place by cable or wirelessly, with wireless transmission being preferred, since the freedom of movement is not restricted.
• the video camera takes over the power supply for the device according to the invention. If necessary, an amplifier of the video signal can be used.
• the device according to the invention is equipped with its own power supply.
• eyecups are provided on the housing, so that the image on the Monitor is not affected by incident light.
• the ideal sequence of movements for the student can advantageously be shown on the monitor.
• the images created by the computer are synchronized with the images from the video camera. This has the advantage that the student or practitioner can also follow the instructions given by the teacher at home.
• Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a golf player with the subject matter of the invention, the transmission from the video camera to the monitor via a cable;
• Figure 2 shows the subject matter of Figure 1 with wireless transmission.
• Figure 3 is a schematic representation of the subject of the invention with a view of the Okuiarseite
• Figure 4 is a schematic representation of Figure 3 in plan view.
• Figure 5 shows another embodiment with a projector and screen.
• Figure 1 shows schematically a golf player in the response position.
• the housing 1 with the monitor 2 arranged therein is by a helmet-like bracket 3 attached to the head of the golfer.
• the transmission from the video camera 4 to the monitor 2 takes place via a cable 5.
• the transmission from the video camera 4 to the monitor 2 takes place wirelessly via a transmitter 6 and a receiver 7.
• a transmission cable 15 is provided between the receiver 7 and the monitor 2.
• Figures 3 and 4 show the housing 1 with the bracket 3 attached to it, which can be home-like or temple-like.
• the monitor 2, reflecting mirror 8 and the electronics 9 are arranged within the housing 1. Eyepiece lenses 10 are provided on the housing 1, the focusing of which takes place via eyepiece adjustments 11.
• eyecups 12 are arranged which protect the viewer's eyes from incident light.
• the eyepiece lenses 10 can be adjusted to the distance between the eyes of the viewer by means of an adjusting device 13. It is conceivable here that an eyepiece lens can be displaced horizontally by a known mechanism or that both lenses - as is known with binoculars - can be adjusted via a joint.
• a cable connection 14 is provided on the housing 1 for the transmission cable 5.
• FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment, a projector 16 and a transparent screen 17 being arranged in the housing 1. The images transmitted by the video camera are projected onto the transparent screen by the projector. The user can observe himself on the screen 17 while performing his sporting movement sequence through the eyepiece lenses 10 and at the same time perceive the surroundings through the transparent screen 17.
