US12510319 - Recoil shot detection in an extended reality system

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.

The patent describes an apparatus for detecting the firing of a weapon that integrates with an extended reality computing system, utilizing a shot detect sensor linked to the weapon’s hammer. This system generates a shot detect signal based on the hammer’s position and a setpoint comparison, which is then used to inform an extended reality tracker that the weapon has been fired.

Claim 1

1 . An apparatus for detecting a firing of a weapon coupled to an extended reality computing system, the apparatus comprising: a shot detect sensor coupled to a hammer of a weapon, the shot detect sensor being configured to generate a first signal based at least in part on a position of the hammer; a signal comparator that is configured to obtain the first signal from the shot detect sensor and a second signal corresponding to a setpoint, the signal comparator being configured to generate a shot detect signal based at least in part on a comparison of the first signal and the second signal, the shot detect signal corresponding to a firing of the weapon; a timer circuit that is configured to generate an extended signal based at least in part on the shot detect signal, the extended signal having a duration greater than the shot detect signal; and a shot detect circuit that 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. a shot detect sensor coupled to a hammer of a weapon, the shot detect sensor being configured to generate a first signal based at least in part on a position of the hammer; a signal comparator that is configured to obtain the first signal from the shot detect sensor and a second signal corresponding to a setpoint, the signal comparator being configured to generate a shot detect signal based at least in part on a comparison of the first signal and the second signal, the shot detect signal corresponding to a firing of the weapon; a timer circuit that is configured to generate an extended signal based at least in part on the shot detect signal, the extended signal having a duration greater than the shot detect signal; and a shot detect circuit that 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.
