WIRELESS IMMERSIVE SIMULATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system for providing a simulated immersive training environment comprising:
- at least one computer subsystem capable of generating at least one real-time video image sequence;
a first radio transmitter/receiver communicatively linked with the at least one computer subsystem and capable of transmitting the at least one real-time video image sequence;
at least one directional antenna communicatively linked with the first radio transmitter/receiver; and
at least one Head-Mounted Display (HMD) device configured to be worn on a user and comprising a second radio transmitter/receiver capable of receiving the real-time video image sequence transmitted by the first radio transmitter/receiver and of displaying the real-time video image sequence on at least one screen positioned before the eyes of the user.

Abstract
Computer-based systems provide a wireless, high fidelity, real-time video and audio immersive environment for multiple users. A user may be equipped with a head mounted display device which wirelessly receives real-time video signals transmitted by a radio transceiver linked to a computer that generates the real-time video images. Aspects include body, arm and leg motion and orientation sensors in wireless communication with a radio transceiver linked with a computer. Video images may be generated using a portable array of user dedicated computers controlled by a single computer that is controlled by an operator.

13. A system for receiving a wirelessly transmitted simulated immersive training environment comprising:
-
a Head-Mounted Display (HMD) device configured to be worn by a user and that includes; a display device capable of showing real-time video image sequences; a battery powered radio transmitter/receiver capable of receiving a real-time video image sequence on a first radio channel and displaying the received real-time video image sequence on the display device, and capable of simultaneously transmitting and receiving a radio signal on a second radio channel distinct from the first radio channel; an orientation sensor communicatively linked to the HMD that provides orientation information to the HMD; and wherein the HMD transmits the orientation information on the second radio channel. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A system for transmitting sensor data from a user within a simulated training environment comprising:
-
at least one orientation sensor attachable to the user and comprising a battery powered sensor radio transmitter/receiver and an antenna; a hub radio transmitter/receiver; and a system radio transmitter/receiver; wherein the at least one orientation sensor transmits an orientation measurement using the sensor radio transmitter/receiver to the hub radio transmitter receiver and receives signals from the hub radio transmitter/receiver; and wherein the hub transmitter/receiver transmits signals to the at least one orientation sensor, receives the orientation measurement transmitted by the at least one orientation sensor, and transmits the orientation measurement to the system radio transmitter/receiver. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
