RECOIL SHOT DETECTION IN AN EXTENDED REALITY SYSTEM
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.
In an embodiment, an extended reality training system is disclosed that includes an extended reality display device, an emitter, a receiver attached to an object and a processor. The processor obtains tracking data for the object based at least in part on a detection by the receiver of a magnetic field generated by the emitter. The processor obtains training scenario data corresponding to an extended reality training scenario and generates the extended reality training scenario based at least in part on the tracking data and the training scenario data. The extended reality training scenario comprises a representation of the object at a location and orientation in a virtual space that corresponds to a location and orientation of the object indicated by the tracking data. The processor provides the extended reality training scenario to the extended reality display device to present the representation of the object to a user.
