Golf Trainer

 

From Owen Rubin: "I also did a Golf Simulator game where you actually hit real golf balls at a projection screen and the ball was projected the rest of the way. We recorded thousands of pictures of the Los Gatos golf course on a LD. When you started, we would project the view from the tee. You would hit a real ball with a real club, we had sensors that measured your swing, your weight balance, and where the ball hit the screen, and we would calculate and project the ball on the screen onto the real course. After each shot, you could get a lesson from a Pro on something the system analyzed you might have done wrong, we measured so many things, and had about 200 lessons from golf pros. A graphic top down view would display where your shot went, and then we would display the next view. It had silly things like going into water hazard footage as well."
