RECOIL SHOT DETECTION IN AN EXTENDED REALITY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240318935 titled 'RECOIL SHOT DETECTION IN AN EXTENDED REALITY SYSTEM
The patent application describes an apparatus for detecting the firing of a weapon connected to an extended reality computing system.
- Shot detect sensor coupled to the weapon's hammer generates a signal based on the hammer's position.
- Signal comparator compares the sensor signal with a setpoint signal to determine a shot detect signal indicating weapon firing.
- Timer circuit generates an extended signal with a duration longer than the shot detect signal.
- Shot detect circuit informs the extended reality tracker device of the weapon firing based on the extended signal.
Potential Applications: - Military training simulations - Law enforcement training programs - Virtual reality gaming experiences
Problems Solved: - Accurate detection of weapon firing in virtual environments - Seamless integration of real-world weapon actions into extended reality systems
Benefits: - Enhanced realism in training scenarios - Improved user immersion and engagement - Precise tracking of weapon usage in virtual settings
Commercial Applications: Title: Virtual Weapon Training System This technology can be utilized by defense contractors, gaming companies, and law enforcement agencies to develop advanced training systems that bridge the gap between physical and virtual environments.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the shot detect sensor accurately determine the firing of the weapon?
The shot detect sensor generates a signal based on the position of the weapon's hammer, which is a reliable indicator of firing.
2. What are the potential limitations of using this technology in virtual reality simulations?
The technology may require calibration and maintenance to ensure accurate detection of weapon firing in different scenarios.
Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus for detecting a firing of a weapon coupled to an extended reality computing system includes a shot detect sensor coupled to a hammer of a weapon and configured to generate a first signal based at least in part on a position of the hammer. a signal comparator is configured to obtain the first signal and a second signal corresponding to a setpoint and to generate a shot detect signal that corresponds to a firing of the weapon. a timer circuit is configured to generate an extended signal based at least in part on the shot detect signal that has a duration greater than the shot detect signal. a shot detect circuit is configured to indicate to an extended reality tracker device that the weapon has been fired based at least in part on the extended signal.
