After determining that a gunshot has been fired, particularly indoors, the method of the invention is employed to determining the number of gunshots fired by analyzing consecutive windows of time over a certain time period. That is, after it is determined that a gun has been fired, the method is employed to identify that the gun is an automatic or rapid fire weapon by quickly counting the number of rounds shot over short periods of time. This information can be used to provide shooting details, both in connection with notifying emergency personnel and enabling the personnel to assess details of the shooting incident.

Method for acoustically counting gunshots fired indoors

A system and method for acoustically detecting the firing of gunshots indoors employs multiple microphones () which are utilized individually and in combination to detect sounds inside a building or other structure and, upon sensing a loud impulsive sound which is indicative of a gunshot, processing signals from both microphones () to determine if the sound is that of a gunshot. The system and method relies on the acoustic signature of the noise as collected, with the acoustic signature being analyzed to arrive at values which are then compared to adjustable levels that signify a gunshot.

Dialog based testing is performed in conjunction with a three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality (VR) system including at least one loudspeaker, a microphone, and a 3D VR headset having a display for displaying 3D VR video and a gaze tracker integrated with the headset. The dialog based testing includes: rendering a 3D avatar via the display of the 3D VR headset; engaging in a dialog including causing the rendered 3D avatar to make utterances in accordance with the branching dialog script and receiving responses to the utterances from a test subject wearing the 3D VR headset including at least verbal responses received via the microphone and gaze activity recorded by the gaze tracker and traversing the branching dialog script including selecting branches of the branching dialog script based at least on the verbal responses received via the microphone; and grading the test subject based on the responses.
