Abstract

A firearm system includes a firearm and a computer. Electronics in the firearm determine data that includes a pathway between different points of aim of the firearm as the firearm moves. The computer receives this data and builds an image of the pathway between the different points of aim of the firearm.

Claims (41)

1. A method, comprising:

capturing, with a wearable electronic device (WED) worn on a head of a user, event data that includes movements of the user with a firearm at a location;

reconstructing, from the event data, a three-dimensional (3D) model that shows an augmented reality (AR) image of the user with the firearm at the location and the movements of the user with the firearm at the location; and

training the user by displaying, with a display of the WED worn on the head of the user, the 3D model that shows the AR image of the user with the firearm at the location and the movements of the user with the firearm at the location.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the movements of the user with the firearm at the location recreate how the user and the firearm moved at the location, and the 3D model includes a point of view of the user holding the firearm.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

displaying, with the display of the WED worn on the head of the user, a virtual image that shows a real-time compass direction of a point of aim of the firearm.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

displaying, with the display of the WED worn on the head of the user, the event data that includes rotations of the firearm at the location.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

displaying, with the display of the WED worn on the head of the user, a trajectory of a bullet fired from the firearm at the location.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

wirelessly transmitting, from the user to computer remote from the user, video captured with a camera that shows a point of aim of the firearm of the user at the location.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

wirelessly transmitting, from the user to another WED worn on a head of another user, the event data that includes a Global Positioning System (GPS) location of the user and a compass direction of a point of aim of the firearm.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

moving, on the display of the WED worn on the head of the user, an AR image of the firearm that emulates actual movements of the firearm in real-time while the user holds and moves the firearm at the location.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

displaying, with a display of another WED worn on a head of another user, the event data that includes video captured with a camera of an electronic scope mounted to the firearm of the user.

10. A method comprising:

reconstructing, from event data captured with a wearable electronic device (WED) worn on a head of a user with a firearm at a location, a three-dimensional (3D) virtual model of the location that includes the user with the firearm; and

displaying, with the WED worn on the head of the user, the 3D virtual model that shows the location, the user with the firearm at the location, and movements of the user with the firearm at the location.

11. The method of claim 10 further comprising:

displaying, with another WED worn on a head of another user, the 3D virtual model that shows the location, the user with the firearm at the location, and movements of the user with the firearm at the location.

12. The method of claim 10 further comprising:

capturing, with a camera on the WED worn on the head of the user, video that shows what the user sees at the location; and

displaying, with another WED worn on a head of another user, the video that shows what the user sees in real-time while the user at the location.

13. The method of claim 10 further comprising:

wirelessly transmitting, from the user to another WED worn on a head of another user, the event data that includes a compass direction of where the firearm is pointed at the location.

14. The method of claim 10 further comprising:

simultaneously displaying, with the display of the WED worn on the head of the user, a point of aim of the firearm along with virtual hands of the user holding a virtual image of the firearm.

15. The method of claim 10 further comprising:

displaying, with the display of the WED worn on the head of the user, a virtual image of a trajectory of a bullet fired from the firearm.

16. A wearable electronic device (WED) worn on a head of a user holding a firearm, the WED comprising:

a camera and one or more sensors that capture event data that includes movements of the user holding the firearm at a location; and

a display that trains the user by displaying an augmented reality (AR) model of the location that shows the user holding the firearm at the location, movements of the user while at the location, and movements of the firearm while the user holds the firearm, wherein the movements of the user and the movements of the firearm being displayed emulate actual movements of the user and the firearm when the user was at the location.

17. The WED of claim 16 , wherein the display simultaneously displays the point of aim of the firearm and a compass direction of the point of aim of the firearm.

18. The WED of claim 16 , wherein the display displays a virtual topographical map generated from aerial photogrammetry of the location, and the virtual topographical map includes a virtual image that represents the user and virtual images that represent other users wearing WEDs at the location.

19. The WED of claim 16 further comprising:

a transmitter that wirelessly transmits at least a portion of the event data to other WEDs worn on heads of other users, wherein the event data transmitted by the transmitter to the other WEDs includes a compass direction of a point of aim of the firearm at the location.

20. The WED of claim 16 , wherein the WED includes the display that simultaneously displays a point of aim of the firearm held in hands of the user along with a virtual image of the firearm that moves to emulate real-time movements of the firearm at the location.
