  • Smart target co-witnessing hit attribution system and method
    Patent number: 11986739
    Abstract: An extended-reality projectile-firing gaming system includes a projectile-firing device that includes a projectile repository, a battlefield object, a network configured to provide communication and control connectivity in accordance with at least one protocol to the projectile-firing device and the battlefield object, an extended-reality gaming application, and an extended-reality device. The extended-reality device includes at least one display and is configured to provide computer-aided vision of real and virtual objects and a computer-aided interface for interaction with the real and virtual objects, the computer-aided interface configured to receive commands or instructions associated with the real and virtual objects and corresponding to the gameplay configuration.
    Type: Grant

  • Smart target co-witnessing hit attribution system and method
    Patent number: 11813537
    Abstract: A smart target co-witnessing hit attribution system includes a network, a projectile-firing device that includes a projectile repository and an infrared emitter, a smart target that includes a piezoelectric sensor, an infrared sensor, and control circuitry, and an extended-reality gaming application. After confirming a successful hit on the smart target, the application receives target state data and updates gaming metric data to attribute a successful impact on the smart target by the projectile-firing device.
