Our vision

From observation to meaningful guidance

MYCOACHBUDDY presents the inventions of Richard (Rick) Baker, developed around a central idea: computers can do more than display generic information. They can analyze a person's actions against reference information and produce individualized audio-visual guidance.

The concepts span remote instruction, visual comparisons, movement analysis and sensor-supported coaching. Contemporary AI offers possible avenues for further development; those opportunities are distinct from the original patent claims.

Two generations of innovation

The inventions

First patent | US 5,486,001

Personalized Instructional Aid

Describes capturing visual information about a person's movement, transmitting and comparing it with stored preferred movement information, and generating adjusted visual images with accompanying dialogue to support instruction.

The described system also includes approaches to analyzing locations, proposed developments and target characteristics.

Second patent | US 11,210,963

Personalised Audio-Visual Instruction

Describes a sensor-based apparatus using movement information from devices such as gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers. Captured movement and biomechanical data can be compared with preferred reference data to create individualized visual presentations and spoken instructional comments.

Wearable and object-mounted sensors extend the ways movement can be measured and represented.
