Abstract

A method can include projecting one or more objects along one or more pre-determined trajectories toward a target zone, with each having a diameter less than a diameter of a regulation table tennis ball, the trainee attempting to prevent the one or more objects from entering the target zone and scoring the ability of the trainee. A method can include displaying a first video to a trainee that explains setup for a delivery device, setting up the delivery device based on the first video, projecting an object along a pre-determined trajectory toward a target zone proximate the trainee, wherein the object has a diameter that is less than a diameter of a regulation table tennis ball, and scoring an ability of the trainee to interact with the object at the target zone.

Abstract

A method can include determining physical characteristics of a trainee, adjusting a target zone based on the physical characteristics, adjusting one or more parameters of a delivery device based on the physical characteristics, projecting an object toward the target zone along a trajectory, and scoring a performance score of the trainee to track the object along a portion of the trajectory. A method can include projecting an object toward a target zone along a trajectory, a trainee attempting to impact the object at an appropriate location with a desired impact location of a sport tool, capturing imagery that contains the object at the appropriate location and the desired impact location of the sport tool, determining horizontal and vertical distances between the desired impact location and the object arriving at the appropriate location, and scoring a performance based on the horizontal and vertical distances.

Abstract

A method can include providing an object having a size smaller than a size of a known regulation object, projecting the object, via a delivery device, toward a trainee, and training the trainee to follow the object. A method can include determining a game parameter of a game trajectory of a sports object that was projected along the game trajectory in a real-time sports event, and based on the game parameters, adapting a delivery device to deliver a training object along a training trajectory that mimics at least a portion of the game trajectory, with the training object being smaller than the sports object.
