Abstract
An electronic tracking system is disclosed for assisting a user in determining distances to objects in a sporting environment. The system includes a user tracking system for determining the location of a user, a heads up display for displaying information to the user, and a processor operable to communicate with the user tracking system and heads up display. The heads up display is designed to be worn by the user, and to display images within the user's field of view. The processor is programmed to determine a distance between the user's determined location and an object, such as a ball, located within the sporting environment. This information is displayed via the heads up display as a numeric representation of the determined distance. If tracking a ball, the heads up display may display an object indication, such as an enhanced image or a comet tail, superimposed over or adjacent the ball.
