Embodiment Construction

[0013] refer to Figure 1-3 , shows a light-based projectile detection system 10 . The light-based projectile detection system 10 is capable of monitoring firing by an actual firearm 16 by using a laser detection system 12 similar to that used in typical laser-based virtual firearms training simulators described above and known in the art. The impact of the projectile 18 on the self-sealing screen 14.

[0014] Specifically, laser detection system 12 includes scene projector 20 and camera 22 each in electrical communication with simulation or hit detection computer 24 . Projector 20 may comprise any type of image generating device and receives a simulated scene from hit detection computer 24 . Projector 20 will then play the scene on one or more self-sealing screens 14 . Instead, the camera 22 monitors the self-sealing screen 14 for light or laser pulses, which will correspond to the point of impact of the projectile 18 being ejected during the simulation being projected ont...

Abstract

A light based projectile detection system for use with a firearm and a virtual firearms training simulator includes a self-sealing screen having a proximal side and a distal side. A scenario projector transmits a simulation onto the proximal side, and a light source faces the distal side. The light source selectively projects light onto the distal side of the screen when the firearm is shot, such that light from the source traverses the screen after contact by a projectile. A camera monitors the light traversing the aperture created by the projectile to determine and associate the position of impact and transmit that information to a scenario computer. The system may include an audio detection circuit to monitor the sound generated by the firearm and transmit a signal to a flash controller to cause the light source to illuminate. The screen will then re-seal around the hole so that the light no longer traverses the screen.

Description

[0001] Cross references to related patent applications [0002] This application claims priority from co-pending US Provisional Application Serial No. 61 / 162,498, filed March 23, 2009, which is the basis of this application and is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to systems and methods for determining the actual coordinates of a projectile impact on a screen and correlating the point of impact with a firearms training simulation. Background technique [0004] Typical virtual firearm training simulators use simulated weapons that do not fire actual bullets to train students to properly operate the weapons in simulated real-life scenarios. Training scenarios include video, digital animation, or other virtual scenarios that have one or more conditions that require the user to react quickly and decisively, such as hostage scenarios, terrorist attacks, or general lawlessness. The scene is projected onto a screen by a video ...
