Abstract
A method includes providing a visual representation of a targeting environment to a display of a rifle scope, where the visual representation includes a target and a reticle. The method further includes receiving a trigger pull signal at a processor coupled to the display, determining an impact location of a virtual shot in response to receiving the trigger pull signal, and dynamically adjusting the target within the visual representation in response to determining the impact location.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- in a first mode:
- capturing optical data using optical sensors of a rifle scope;
- providing the optical data to a display within the rifle scope that is viewable through a viewing lens of the rifle scope;
- and
- in a second mode:
- providing a visual representation of a targeting environment to the display of the rifle scope using a processor within the rifle scope, the visual representation including a target and including a reticle;
- receiving a trigger pull signal at the processor;
- determining an impact location of a virtual shot in response to receiving the trigger pull signal using the processor;
- and
- dynamically adjusting the target within the visual representation in response to determining the impact location using the processor.

A rifle scope comprising:
- a display;
- optical sensors configured to capture optical data associated with a view area;
- an input interface configured to receive a user input;
- a processor coupled to the display, the optical sensors, and the input interface;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- in a first mode:
- receive optical data from the optical sensors of the rifle scope;
- and
- present the optical data to the display;
- and
- in a second mode:
- provide a visual representation to the display, the visual representation generated to include a targeting environment including a target;
- receive a trigger pull signal from the input interface;
- determine an impact location of a virtual shot in response to receiving the trigger pull signal based on orientation data corresponding to an orientation of the rifle scope;
- and
- dynamically adjust the target within the visual representation based on determining the impact location.

A rifle scope including embedded training, the rifle scope comprising:
- a display;
- optical sensors configured to capture image data of a view area;
- a controller coupled to the display and to the optical sensors and configured to:
- in a first mode:
- receive the image data associated with the view area from the optical sensors;
- provide at least a portion of the image data to the display;
- in a second mode:
- provide a visual representation to the display, the visual representation generated to include a targeting environment including one or more targets;
- determine a trigger pull;
- determine an impact location for a shot taken in response to the trigger pull;
- and
- provide training results to the display by selectively adjusting at least one target within the visual representation in response to the trigger pull based on the determined impact location.
