  • Patent number: 10789729
    Abstract: A system and method for determining a projectile impact location is described. Embodiments of the projectile impact location system can include, but is not limited to, a control module, a camera with removable filter, a projector, and a light source. The projectile impact location system can be implemented to determine a location of a projectile impact and generate coordinates of the impact location for use by an animation engine.

  • Patent number: 10379428
    Abstract: A multi-configuration simulator screen system and methods of use are described. Embodiments of the present invention include a multi-configuration screen assembly and a simulator system for running training scenarios on the multi-configuration screen assembly. The multi-configuration screen assembly can include a pair of screens rotatably coupled to a middle screen. The pair of screens can be rotated relative to the middle screen allowing for the simulator system to be implemented with a plurality of differently configured screens.

  • Publication number: 20180142994
    Abstract: A disruptor device simulation system is described. Embodiments of the of the simulation system include a disruptor device, one or more training cartridges, and a simulator system. The disruptor device can be loaded with training cartridges and implemented in a training scenario. The training cartridges can include a pair of infrared lasers and an infrared emitter. The simulator system can alter the training scenario based detecting pulses of light generated by the lasers and signals from the infrared emitter. In one embodiment, the simulator system can be adapted to determine when a trigger of the disruptor device is pulled and when an arc switch of the disruptor device is pressed. The simulator system can include a sensor adapted to detect the pulses of light generated by the pair of lasers. The simulator system can further include a receiver adapted to detect signals generated by the emitter.

  • Patent number: 9674351
    Abstract: According to one or more aspects of the present disclosure operations related to performing captioning may include receiving, from a first user device, first audio data. The operations may further include directing the first audio data to a remotely located call-assistant device and receiving, from the call-assistant device, second audio data that is related to the first audio data and that is derived from speech of a call assistant. The operations may also include accessing, with a captioning software application, voice profile data of the call assistant and generating caption data that includes a transcription of the second audio data. The operations may also include generating, based on the transcription, screen data related to the captioning software application, in which the screen data includes the transcription. In addition, the operations may include directing the screen data to the call-assistant device and directing the caption data to the first user device.

  • Publication number: 20160117945
    Abstract: A use of force training system is described. Embodiments of the use of force training system can include a weapon, a simulator system, and an eye tracking device. Typically, a trainee can be outfitted with the weapon and the eye tracking device. The eye tracking device can be implemented to track where the trainee is focusing while interacting with a training scenario. Typically, an instructor can provide feedback to the trainee based on information provided by the eye tracking device in a use of force simulation setting. In some embodiments, the simulator system can be adapted to alter a training scenario based on data received from the eye tracking device.
