Badminton is an amazing sport to watch. It is fast-paced and requires the ultimate in agility from championship-level players. Meanwhile, you and I can play a fun game, testing our own skills, yes, it’s a sport for all ages and levels of play. Perhaps that is what makes it so much fun to enjoy or watch. In the future there will be more holographic virtual reality games in the living room, and you can play badminton with just a holographic fly. Let me explain.
You see, I would like to introduce a new concept. It would involve top-tier badminton players wearing special suits with LED lights attached. They would be playing in a room with a specific grid pattern on all the walls, floors, and ceilings. Every time they made a move, those LED lights along that special suit they were wearing moved slightly. These movements would be captured in real time. Then, all these movements and the light changes would reveal the exact position of the player at each moment. There would also be LED lights on the racket itself.
Once we took all of this and put it into a CAD/CAM computerized software system, we were able to reanimate that player into a 3-D hologram composition. Then you have a worthy adversary and opponent to challenge and compete with. You can set your living room hologram VR contest center to the level of play you can, or push the limits of your own agility and skill, testing your skills at higher and higher levels. All I would do is set the opponent’s speed to fast or slow, or set the opponent to certain skill levels where he wouldn’t be able to do any of the tricky shots, just the average maneuvers.
While playing, he would also wear a suit with LED lights, and the computer system in the living room would know his every move based on a background of screens above, behind, and to the sides. The system would score with full accuracy and even though you would be in augmented reality, your opponent would be completely virtual, but your opponent would not be a slacker if you set it to the highest levels. If you watch some of the YouTube videos of Asian players competing in the badminton championship, you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.
They move fast, fast and they are precise. If you are able to win the virtual game at the highest level, you will probably be ready for the championship and should take the next flight to Asia to see how good you really have become. Please consider all this and think about it.
