A firearm laser training system of the present invention includes a target having a plurality of zones, a laser transmitter assembly for projecting a laser beam, a sensing device and a processor. The sensing device scans the target to produce target images to detect laser beam or simulated projectile impact locations. The processor receives impact location information from the sensing device and processes the received information to evaluate user performance and to display evaluation information and an image of the target including indicia corresponding to the detected impact locations.

A method and system for performing automated training environment monitoring and evaluation. The training environment may include a mixed reality elements to enhance a training experience.

A method for generating input information associated with a question to be provided to a simulation device on-board a platform. The question is elected among a plurality of questions. A simulation criterion corresponding to the simulation is determined. A simulation scenario is modified depending upon the question. The input information is generated depending upon the elected question and the simulation criterion.

A firearm laser training system according to the present invention accommodates various types of targets for facilitating a variety of firearm training activities. The system employs an image sensing device to detect laser beam impacts on a target, where the laser beam is projected from an actual or simulated user firearm with a laser transmitter. The image sensing device compensates for image distortions and the sensing device viewing angle with respect to the intended target, and enables detection of laser beam impacts on various types of targets (e.g., paper targets, projected targets, videos, still or moving images, etc.) to provide firearm training with varying scenarios. The image sensing device provides impact location information to a computer system to graphically display the impact locations and provide information pertaining to user performance of the training activity.

A device combining a gun and target for facilitating a game of tag using infrared light communications and augmented reality with one or more players is provided. The device includes infrared transmitters and infrared receivers to facilitate omni-directional two-way communication between two or more devices and a shaped housing facilitating handling of the device by a user. The housing includes a grip portion with a finger-operable trigger and a barrel portion. A mobile electronic device is used as an accessory to provide single player and multiplayer augmented reality game play and a user-interface including a display and a touch screen for programming the device and controlling various game and device functions.

Provided are mesh video nodes for wireless mesh networks and methods thereof. A mesh video node includes a wireless interface unit, a multimedia processing unit, an input / output unit, and a control panel interface unit. The mesh video node is configured via a user interface with a communications channel selector and a node selector, where each channel is associated with a predetermined frequency channel, and each node is associated with an internet protocol address. A method of deployment is also provided via a user interface that visually represents link qualities between neighboring nodes.

An interface, in the form of an isometric exercise system, according to the present invention includes an effector with at least one sensor, a platform and control circuitry including a processor. The platform accommodates a user in a standing position and includes the effector attached thereto. The sensor measures at least one force applied by a user lower body portion to the effector and causing a measurable strain on the effector. An additional effector with at least one sensor and a game controller or other input device may further be attached to the platform. The sensor measures at least one force applied by a user upper body portion to the additional effector and causing a measurable strain on that effector. The processor receives and processes data corresponding to applied force information for transference to the host computer system to update a virtual reality scenario.

A multi-caliber ambidextrously controlled firearm that includes an adjustable ejection system to facilitate the ejection of spent cartridge casings from a firearm. The adjustable ejection system includes an ejection port defined by an aperture in the firearm and a deflector. The deflector is attached to the firearm to adjust the size of the ejection port and may be attached at one of at least two attachment positions of the firearm. The adjustable ejector system includes an ejector selectively attached to the firearm at one of at least two ejector attachment positions. The improved firearm also includes an ambidextrous magazine catch system for selectively retaining a magazine within a firearm. The magazine catch system includes a first button opposite a second button such that either button may be actuated by a user to release the magazine retained with the firearm.

A character group battle method which can express uneven distribution of attack power, defense strength or the like that is unevenly distributed in a group comprising a plurality of characters is provided. Within a predetermined time period, the position of each character in a 3-dimensional virtual space is calculated, the character number of other friend characters existing in a predetermined region about the character is calculated (S304), an attack value and a defense value expressing the attack power and the defense strength of the character are calculated on the basis of the character number (S310, S312), and a color correction value is calculated for changing color tone of the character according to the attack value (defense value) (S314).

Interactive methods and apparatus for infrared (IR) tag shooting games between participants are disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing configured as an infrared transmitting and receiving toy which has an interface display, switches, and an IR device disposed within the housing for transmitting and receiving first or second data between participants. An information processor is coupled to the interface and in communication with the IR device, with the first data including tag or hit information and the second data including special attack information. The information processor and IR transmitter are able to send first IR data indicative of one or more tags or shots being fired in response to user actuation of one or more inputs, and the information processor and IR transmitter are able to send second IR data indicative of a selected special attack in response to user actuation of one or more inputs. The information processor generates a hit or tag tally upon receiving first data from IR receiver, and generates an activity upon receiving second data including a video-game or puzzle style activity on the interface display. In a further embodiment, the information processor is responsive to hit or tag tally and results of special attacks as being capable of storing gameplay experience, and the information processor may alter gameplay capabilities based on stored gameplay experience. Information processing is responsive to the stored gameplay experience for determining a level that defines operation of an IR device associated with the one or more other participants.

An apparatus for non-permanent conversion of a semiautomatic pistol into a compressed gas powered weapon simulator. The apparatus replaces the pistol's barrel, recoil spring and magazine with no modification of the pistol, which allows retaining the operational functions of the pistol's remaining components. Compressed gas, from the simulation magazine unit, is used in the compressed gas valve means, in the barrel unit, to operate the slide mechanism, to compress the simulation recoil spring, and to emit a laser pulse beam on a target when activated by the firing mechanism; and battery power, from the simulation magazine unit, is used to count the number of shots, lock the slide after a predetermined number of shots and transmit information from the weapon simulator to a remote data system. The compressed simulation recoil spring returns the slide mechanism back to its original position, unless locked open by the apparatus.
