Benefits of technology

The patent describes a simulated firearm that has a camera, memory, and processor. The camera is attached to the firearm and can capture images when the trigger is pulled. The memory has data about specific targets, and the processor can match the image data with the target data. This allows for a realistic simulation of firearm use.

Problems solved by technology

However, firearms are also dangerous tools that can cause severe injury or harm if used without proper training.
Even among experienced users, firearm training can present significant risk of harm to the user, and to nearby people and property.
Furthermore, firearms are not suitable for use as toys.

Abstract

A simulated firearm includes a body, a camera, a memory, and a processor. The body has a handle, a trigger, and a barrel portion. The barrel portion defines a shooting axis. The camera is coupled to the body and aligned with the shooting axis. The camera is configured to capture an image in response to actuation of the trigger. The memory is coupled to the body and stores marker data corresponding to at least one target marker. The processor is coupled to the body and configured to determine whether a portion of the image captured by the camera matches any one or more of the at least one target marker.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 332,276 filed on May 5, 2016, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.FIELD[0002]This disclosure relates to simulated firearms with integrated target accuracy detection capabilities, and to related methods and systems.INTRODUCTION[0003]Firearms, such as pistols, rifles, and shotguns have a variety of uses including recreation, protection, hunting, and combat. However, firearms are also dangerous tools that can cause severe injury or harm if used without proper training. Even among experienced users, firearm training can present significant risk of harm to the user, and to nearby people and property. Furthermore, firearms are not suitable for use as toys.SUMMARY[0004]In one aspect, a simulated firearm is provided. The simulated firearm may include a body, a camera, a memory, and a processor. The body may have a handle, a trigger, and a barrel porti...
