Is Your Golf Game Ready for a Heads-Up Display?

Forget about Google Glass! Golfers need to dream of Nike’s Golf Glass.

A recent Nike patent application published as US Pub. No. A system for tracking a golf ball and displaying an enhanced image of the golf ball is disclosed. The system may display an enhanced image of the golf ball on a display such that the enhanced image is imposed upon a user’s real world view. Displaying an enhanced image of the golf ball may help a user view the trajectory of the golf ball and find the golf ball after the golf ball lands. The system may display an enhanced image of the golf ball on a heads-up display configured to be worn on a person’s head such that the user may view the enhanced image while remaining hands-free. The enhanced image may enable a user to compare the golf ball’s trajectory with an ideal trajectory. The system may display other information, such as launch and flight information about the ball, on the heads-up display.

Are you ready for this?

Wicked cool! How many years before this is reality?
