Publication number: 20230258427Abstract: The present disclosure explains a system and method for determining a spatial orientation of a weapon in an augmented reality training environment. Fiducial markers are mounted on the weapon and two cameras are mounted on a user's head to capture spatial coordinates of the plurality of fiducial markers. The spatial coordinates of fiducial markers are processed to determine the spatial orientation of the weapon and a simulated discharging of the weapon. Augmented reality imagery is generated based on the spatial orientation and the detected movement. The augmented reality imagery corresponding to the spatial orientation and discharging of the weapon is rendered for the user with the head-mounted display.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2022Publication date: August 17, 2023Applicant: Cubic CorporationInventors: Keith William Doolittle, Lifan Hua, David Robert Simmons, Adam Robb Syme, Robyn Ann Yost, Peter Jonathan Martin, Carson Alan Brown, Michele Fleming, Vern Edgar Campbell
