Training systems and methods

A system comprising:

• a delivery device that projects an object toward a target along a trajectory, wherein the object is no greater than 1.40 inches in diameter, and the object has at least a first characteristic;
• a human machine interface (HMI) device that is configured to receive an input from a trainee which indicates the trainee identifies an estimated characteristic of the object after the object exits the delivery device, wherein the HMI device creates a signal that is representative of the input received from the trainee, and wherein the signal indicates the estimated characteristic to a computing system;
• and
• the computing system is configured to determine a score of the trainee based upon the signal received from the HMI device, wherein the score indicates an ability of the trainee to accurately estimate the first characteristic based on the signal.

A method comprising:

• projecting, via a delivery device, an object toward a target zone along a trajectory, wherein the object is smaller than a table tennis ball;
• detecting, via a sensor, eye characteristics of a trainee while the trainee tracks the object along at least a portion of the trajectory;
• and
• determining, via a computing system, a score of the trainee based upon the detected eye characteristics, the score indicating a level of proficiency of the trainee to track the object as the object travels along the portion of the trajectory.
