The present invention relates to a method for embedded combat vehicle gun target tracking training performed at an electronic device, an electronic device for performing the method and a computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs for performing the method. The method comprises determining a trajectory of a virtual target for a period of time; determining an aim point location of the weapon system; displaying, on a display device, a first and second graphical object overlaid onto an image sequence, wherein the first graphical object represents an aim point location of the weapon system and wherein the second graphical object represents a virtual target which moves along the determined trajectory. User inputs are received representative of control signals for causing weapon system movements and the second graphical object is updated based on the weapon system movements.

A ballistic detection system includes a first camera; a second camera; a solar block device associated with at least one camera of the first and second cameras, wherein the solar block device is configured and arranged to block a solar disc in a field of view of the at least one camera; and a ballistics analysis computer configured to obtain image data captured by the first and second cameras, determine at least two points in three-dimensional space, which correspond to image artifacts of a projectile, using intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the first and second cameras, define a trajectory of the projectile within a target volume using the at least two points in three-dimensional space, and find a point of intersection of the trajectory of the projectile with an object associated with the target volume.

A ballistic detection system includes a radar system; electromagnetic radiation detection equipment positioned on only a single side of a target volume; and a ballistics analysis computer configured to obtain image data captured by first and second cameras in accordance with timing specified by radar data, determine points in three-dimensional space, which correspond to image artifacts of a projectile, using intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the first and second cameras, define a trajectory of the projectile within a target volume using the points in three-dimensional space, and find a point of intersection of the trajectory of the projectile with an object associated with the target volume.

A simulation system may comprise a headset and an equipment. A wireless communication interface of the headset may receive position information from the equipment. The headset may detect a passively-instrumented object represented in a captured image. The headset may detect a wearable device coupled to the passively-instrumented object. The headset may determine position information for the passively-instrumented object. The headset may present an image of virtual equipment corresponding to the equipment in accordance with the position information from the equipment and the position information detected for the passively-instrumented object.

The invention provides a system for pointing targets, at a random sequence, by parameters determined by the device itself or by a human operator. The system includes a main unit and optional remote input/output devices. The system includes a plurality of pointing laser devices that are moveable and rotatable allowing to aim the pointing devices individually. A remote device could be attached or integrated into a firearm.

Disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for simulation of firearm discharge and training of armed forces and/or law enforcement personnel. A motion tracking system tracks motion of one or more users. In embodiments, the users wear one or more sensors on their bodies to allow tracking by the motion tracking system. A scenario management system utilizes position, orientation, and motion information provided by the motion tracking system to evaluate user performance during a scenario. A weapon simulator includes sensors that indicate position of the weapon and/or orientation of the weapon. The weapon simulator may further provide trigger activation indications to the scenario management system. In embodiments, the scenario management system generates, plays, reviews, and/or evaluates simulations. The evaluation can include scoring based on reaction times, posture, body position, body orientation, and/or other attributes.

Provided herein are systems and methods for shooting simulation of a target with a projectile. More particularly, the invention relates to virtual reality optical projection systems to monitor and simulate shooting.

The present disclosure explains a system and method for determining a spatial orientation of a weapon in an augmented reality training environment. Fiducial markers are mounted on the weapon and two cameras are mounted on a user's head to capture spatial coordinates of the plurality of fiducial markers. The spatial coordinates of fiducial markers are processed to determine the spatial orientation of the weapon and a simulated discharging of the weapon. Augmented reality imagery is generated based on the spatial orientation and the detected movement. The augmented reality imagery corresponding to the spatial orientation and discharging of the weapon is rendered for the user with the head-mounted display.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein to improve efficiency and effectiveness in firearms and tactical training, at least in part by selectively generating images onto external target elements. One or more portable devices are selectively mounted with respect to selected ones of the external target elements, which may be fixed in position or mobile as the application demands. Each device includes a housing accommodating and configured for optical projection of light from an array of laser sources and diffractive optical elements. A device controller directs the projection of light from one or more of the laser sources according to a programmed target stimulus arrangement. The device controller may be individually and manually programmed or commanded in some embodiments, but alternatively a master controller may be implemented to coordinate light projections from an array of devices to provide any number of desired scenarios for neurological and/or physiological stimulation of users.
