Abstract

Precision shooting training is conventionally done at outdoor shooting ranges. There are also virtual training grounds that use weapons and scenarios that do not provide a completely real experience. When the practitioner begins training, the waste of ammunition represents an economic inconvenience both for him and for the training center. For this reason, this research analyzes the factors and tactical strategies involved in precision shooting practices, developing a virtual augmented reality system that implements three-dimensional objects that facilitate training with short-range weapons. The panorama of vision in the sights of the weapons is expanded, to have a better alignment between the three key points that intervene in the shots. Thus, the training method is modernized, but the reactions caused by the recoil force generated by a shot are preserved, without affecting the practitioner’s cognitive process. When acting within a combat environment, it is necessary to recreate a situational awareness that allows generating a perception, understanding, and anticipation of all the elements of the environment. Experimental tests show a 116.67% increase in effectiveness when compared to the traditional method. Thus, there is a reduction in the consumption of resources, making it a sustainable proposal.
