The patent describes a system for training shooting skills using virtual and augmented reality technologies, incorporating digital image capture devices and processors to provide ballistic solutions. This system aims to enhance shooting accuracy by calculating the range to a target based on geometric analysis of perceived dimensions.

Claim 1

1 . A system, comprising: a) at least one digital image capture device; b) a processor; and c) non-transitory computer readable media comprising instructions for shooting a target with a projectile that when executed by said processor cause said processor to execute a shooting application, wherein said shooting application provides at least one ballistic solution, wherein said ballistic solution comprises geometric ranging a range from a user to said target comprising at least one image from said at least one digital image capture device, wherein said geometric ranging a range comprises division of an actual target dimension by a perceived target dimension in pixels provided by said at least one digital image capture device to yield said range from said user to said target. a) at least one digital image capture device; b) a processor; and c) non-transitory computer readable media comprising instructions for shooting a target with a projectile that when executed by said processor cause said processor to execute a shooting application, wherein said shooting application provides at least one ballistic solution, wherein said ballistic solution comprises geometric ranging a range from a user to said target comprising at least one image from said at least one digital image capture device, wherein said geometric ranging a range comprises division of an actual target dimension by a perceived target dimension in pixels provided by said at least one digital image capture device to yield said range from said user to said target.
