Abstract
A virtual combat training system includes a plurality of shock units adapted to attach to a different part of a body of a trainee, a helmet to display a virtual environment, a body node on the body of the trainee and a central control unit remote from the trainee. The central control unit tracks location data of the shock units including absolute position of each shock unit in relation to the central control unit and a relative position of each shock unit in relation to the other shock units, determines a location and orientation of the trainee, transmits actuation signals to the shock units to simulate an injury in response to events occurring within the virtual environment based on the location and the orientation of the trainee, and transmits virtual environment data to the virtual technology helmet. The body node communicates between the shock units and the central control unit.
