Firearm training system supporting trigger region incursion tracing

A method performed by an electronic control system of a firearm training device that simulates a firearm, the method comprising:

• responsive to detecting an object within a trigger region neighboring a trigger of the firearm training device via a trigger region incursion sensor, controlling a laser emitter of the firearm training device to emit a first laser emission at a first wavelength according to a first emission pattern;
• and
• responsive to detecting actuation of the trigger via a trigger sensor of the firearm training device, controlling the laser emitter to emit a second laser emission at a second wavelength according to a second emission pattern;
• wherein the first wavelength differs from the second wavelength, or the first emission pattern differs from the second emission pattern.

A monitoring system for simulated firearm training, the monitoring system comprising:

• an optical sensor subsystem including one or more optical sensors;
• a computing system of one or more computing devices including a storage subsystem having instructions stored thereon executable by the computing system to:
• detect, via the optical sensor subsystem, a first laser emission from a simulated firearm within a field of view of the one or more optical sensors in which the first laser emission has a first wavelength and a first emission pattern;
• wherein the first laser emission is emitted by the simulated firearm responsive to the simulated firearm detecting an object within a trigger region neighboring a trigger of the simulated firearm via a trigger region incursion sensor;
• record a first time-based spatial representation of the first laser emission in the storage subsystem;
• attribute the first laser emission to the simulated firearm based on settings data stored in the storage subsystem that associates the first wavelength and/or the first emission pattern with an identifier of the simulated firearm;
• detect, via the optical sensor subsystem, a second laser emission from the simulated firearm within the field of view of the one or more optical sensors in which the second laser emission has a second wavelength and a second emission pattern;
• wherein the second laser emission is emitted by the simulated firearm responsive to the simulated firearm detecting actuation of the trigger via a trigger sensor;
• wherein the first wavelength differs from the second wavelength, or the first emission pattern differs from the second emission pattern;
• record a second time-based spatial representation of the second laser emission in the storage subsystem;
• attribute the second laser emission to the simulated firearm based on the settings data stored in the storage subsystem that associates the second wavelength and/or the second emission pattern with the identifier of the simulated firearm;
• and
• output event data that includes the identifier of the simulated firearm, the first time-based spatial representation, and the second time-based spatial representation.
