Abstract
An apparatus for detecting a firing of a weapon coupled to an extended reality computing system includes a shot detect sensor coupled to a hammer of a weapon and configured to generate a first signal based at least in part on a position of the hammer. A signal comparator is configured to obtain the first signal and a second signal corresponding to a setpoint and to generate a shot detect signal that corresponds to a firing of the weapon. A timer circuit is configured to generate an extended signal based at least in part on the shot detect signal that has a duration greater than the shot detect signal. A shot detect circuit is configured to indicate to an extended reality tracker device that the weapon has been fired based at least in part on the extended signal.

1-20. (canceled)
An apparatus for detecting a firing of a weapon coupled to an extended reality system, the apparatus comprising:
- a tracking device externally mounted to the weapon, the tracking device comprising:
- an inertial measurement unit (IMU) configured to measure acceleration data associated with the weapon;
- and
- a controller in communication with the IMU of the tracking device, the controller configured to:
- obtain the acceleration data obtained by the IMU;
- process the acceleration data to differentiate a recoil event caused by firing of the weapon from other motion or background noise;
- and
- generate a shot detect signal based on determining that the recoil event has occurred.
