The Development of Image Capturing System Applied in Shooting Simulator using LabVIEW

An electronically controlled M16 rifle simulator, integrated a control box and an infrared laser device had been successfully integrated to a shooting virtual reality as an all-in-one solution in this study. This system is shown to provide a flexible, cost-effective and safe environment. It is an effective educational tool used in defense industry to assist soldiers in shooting skill improvement, or provide players an immersive shooting experience in the virtual reality game industry. It is developed and tested for understanding its advantages and limitations. Interface image capturing and processing response time analysis has been performed. In the results of this study, the response time is one-tenth of a second. It is satisfactory in a real application.
