Nike patents system to track and replay athletic moves from multiple angles
The filing describes a system that combines video footage from multiple cameras with performance data to record athletic activities. It allows users to select and replay their movements from different perspectives, such as viewing a skateboard trick from above or the side. The system also supports comparing these recorded activities with those of other users.
In the filing’s own words
Example embodiments may relate to a system, method, apparatus, and computer readable media configured for monitoring a user performing various athletic movements and generating performance characteristics based on the data corresponding to such athletic movements. Users may also be encouraged to participate in athletic challenges or competitions against other users or groups of users. In addition, athletic movement data for multiple persons can be collected at a central location, and subsequently displayed to a user at a desired remote location, so that the user can compare his or her athletic activities to others.
