Abstract
Training apparatus (1) for at least one user (2), including a weapon (3) and consisting of a device for detecting a hit and a display device (6) for displaying virtual targets (13), wherein: the display device (6), worn by the user, takes the form of an augmented reality (AR) device, which visually displays to the user (2) at least the target (13) to be hit; the weapon (3) takes the form of a firearm, which fires at least one projectile (7); and the projectile (7) is detected by at least one laser (9, 11), evaluated and visually displayed on the display device (6).
Claims15
A training apparatus for at least one user with a weapon, consisting of a device for detecting a hit and a display device for representation of virtual targets, wherein the user-carried display device is configured as an augmented reality (AR) device, which visually displays to the user at least the target to be hit, wherein the weapon takes the form of a firearm, which shoots at least one projectile, wherein the projectile is detected by at least one laser, evaluated, and visually represented on the display device and that the pointing of the weapon can be determined with at least one sensor, wherein an arithmetic unit defines a shooting region and a safety region and monitors the current pointing of the weapon in regard to the regions and the arithmetic unit can determine when the weapon leaves the shooting region and triggers an action.
A training apparatus for at least one user with a weapon, consisting of a device for detecting a hit and a display device for representation of virtual targets, wherein the user-carried display device is configured as an augmented reality (AR) device, which visually displays to the user at least the target to be hit, wherein the weapon takes the form of a training weapon, wherein the weapon comprises a device with which the activation of the trigger of the weapon and the pointing of the weapon can be determined, wherein the shot can be visually represented on the display device, wherein the pointing of the weapon can be determined with at least one sensor, wherein an arithmetic unit defines a shooting region and a safety region and monitors the current pointing of the weapon in regard to the regions and the arithmetic unit can determine when the weapon leaves the shooting region and triggers an action.
A training apparatus for at least one user with a weapon, consisting of a device for detecting a hit and a display device for representation of virtual targets, wherein the user-carried display device is configured as an augmented reality (AR) device, which visually displays to the user at least the target to be hit, wherein the weapon takes the form of a laser-supported training weapon, wherein the laser beam is detected in relation to the target with an acquisition device and the shot can be visually represented on the display device and the pointing of the weapon can be determined with at least one sensor, wherein an arithmetic unit defines a shooting region and a safety region and monitors the current pointing of the weapon in regard to the regions and the arithmetic unit can determine when the weapon leaves the shooting region and triggers an action.
A method for operating a training apparatus for at least one user with a weapon, consisting of a device for detecting a hit and a display device for representation of virtual targets, wherein the user-carried display device is configured as an augmented reality (AR) device, which visually displays to the user at least the target to be hit, characterized by the method comprising:
- shooting of at least one projectile from a weapon, which takes the form of a firearm;
- detecting of the flying projectile by at least one laser
- evaluating of the ballistics of the projectile
- evaluating whether a hit by the projectile has occurred on the virtual target;
- representation of the hit in the display device;
- determination of the pointing of the weapon with at least one sensor, wherein an arithmetic unit defines a shooting region and a safety region and monitors the current pointing of the weapon in regard to the regions and the arithmetic unit can determine when the weapon leaves the shooting region and triggers an action.
