Abstract
A device can include one or more sensors configured to output sensor data, and a trigger detection module configured to receive the sensor data from the one or more sensors and to determine whether a trigger event has occurred. The trigger detection module can be configured to output a trigger detection signal when the trigger event is detected. The trigger detection signal can be configured to be used by an augmented reality or virtual reality system to cause an augmented reality or virtual reality event.
Claims18
A device configured to mount to a firearm, comprising:
- a housing configured to connect to a firearm;
- one or more sensors contained within the housing and configured to output sensor data;
- and
- a trigger detection module contained within the housing and configured to receive the sensor data from the one or more sensors and to determine whether a trigger event has occurred, wherein the trigger detection module is configured to output a trigger detection signal when the trigger event is detected, wherein the trigger detection signal is configured to be used by an augmented reality or virtual reality system to cause an augmented reality or virtual reality event, wherein the trigger detection module is configured to classify the trigger event to one of a plurality of known trigger event types.
A method, comprising:
- receiving one or more sensor signals from one or more sensors on a firearm;
- determining, based on the received one or more sensor signals, using a machine learning model on the firearm, whether a trigger event has occurred, wherein the trigger event is one of a plurality of known trigger events of the firearm;
- and
- outputting a trigger detection signal if the trigger event has occurred.
