ABSTRACT:
A goaltender simulator system, which closely simulates shooting on a goal tended by a live goaltender, is provided. The system includes a digital video camera which tracks the trajectory of the object launched toward the goal. The continuous image data is filtered to enable a computer control to accurately determine the trajectory of the object as well as estimate its anticipated trajectory. Knowing the anticipated trajectory of the object, the computer control instructs motors to move the goaltender figure and/or its arms to the appropriate position to block the incoming object in an attempt to prevent it from entering the goal.
