Extended reality system for training and evaluation

A system comprising:

• a tracking system comprising a host station and a sensor station,
• said sensor station including a first transmitter transmitting an infrared (IR) synchronous signal, and a second transmitter transmitting an IR laser signal, wherein the IR synchronous signal and the IR laser signal are broadcast across a user-definable area;
• a head-mounted display including a display displaying a virtual reality (VR) environment;
• and
• a tracked object including a plurality of object sensors sensing the IR synchronous signal and the IR laser signal,
• said tracked object determining an object location and an object orientation of the tracked object relative to the sensor station based on the IR synchronous signal and the IR laser signal,
• said tracked object transmitting the object location and the object orientation to the host station,
• said host station comprising a processor coupled in communication to the tracked object and the head-mounted display, said processor programmed to:
• determine an actual flight path of the tracked object during an object tracking event where the tracked object is moving relative to the sensor station, the actual flight path based on the object location and the object orientation of the tracked object;
• generate a predicted flight path of the tracked object based on the object location and the object orientation of the tracked object;
• and
• render an image of a virtual object on the display of the head-mounted display in the VR environment, wherein the image includes an image of a virtual object corresponding to the tracked object,
• wherein the image of the virtual object is rendered in the VR environment such that the image of the virtual object moves along the actual flight path rendered in the VR environment on the display and the predicted flight path rendered in the VR environment on the display.
