Abstract
An apparatus, device, or method may detect or track aim direction or motion of a firearm and display information indicative of such aim direction or motion. Sequence of bullet strikes on a real or virtual target by multiple gunshots may be determined. A method may comprise detecting one or more gunshots of the firearm discharging live ammunition, measuring or determining aim directions or motions of the firearm before, during, and/or after the one or more gunshots, recording these measurements or determinations, and generating output for displaying images on a display.
Claims20
A method for shooting performance training, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a motion sensor, electronic signals representative of motion of a firearm;
- detecting a shot;
- continuously tracking, based at least in part on the electronic signals, the motion of the firearm before and after the shot to generate tracking data;
- retrieving, from an electronic memory, a reference target direction based at least in part on a prior shot measured by the motion sensor;
- and
- based at least in part on the tracking data and the reference target direction, generating data for a display of a user interface.
A device comprising:
- electronic memory;
- one or more motion sensors;
- and
- a processor or electronics configured to:
- receive, from the one or more motion sensors, electronic signals representative of motion of a firearm;
- detect a shot;
- continuously track, based at least in part on the electronic signals, the motion of the firearm before and after the shot to generate tracking data;
- retrieve, from the electronic memory, a reference target direction based at least in part on a prior shot measured by the one or more motion sensors;
- and
- based at least in part on the tracking data, generate data for a display of a user interface.
