The present disclosure relates generally to a system and method for detecting or indicating a state of impairment of a test subject or user due to drugs or alcohol, and more particularly to a method, system and application or software program configured to creating a virtual-reality ('VR') environment that implements drug and alcohol impairment tests, and which utilizes eye tracking technology to detect or indicate impairment.

Roadside impairment sensor

Aiming assistance is provided for assisting a user in aiming a ranged weapon at a target. The aiming assistance includes receiving telemetry information from one or more sensors, and determining an aim error based on the telemetry information. The aim error indicates of an error between a trajectory of the ranged weapon and an on target trajectory from the ranged weapon to the target. A somatosensation is provided to the user which is indicative of the aim error. This is done by operating haptic devices of a garment worn on an arm or wrist of the user to apply haptic sensation to skin of the arm or wrist. The haptic devices may be electrodes and the applied haptic sensation comprises transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation (TENS), or the haptic devices may be vibrators.
