This paper gives an overview of new low cost firearms simulator based on a motion-tracking sensor - Microsoft Kinect that provides aiming results that are highly correlated with real live results. This simulator uses Microsoft Kinect SDK based application that utilizes the input from the embedded Kinect sensors to calculate the aiming point at the screen, recognizes the user’s gestures and the audio inputs, and emulates commands in a simulation based on those inputs. We have created three test modules that are using different calibration points and mathematical frameworks to accurately transform the gunshot targeting point in proper pixel coordinate. The initial experiments with the proposed firearms simulator show that the results that are accomplished by humans using the simulator and the results accomplished in the real live firearms shooting have a high correlation coefficient of 0.82. This shows that the proposed simulator can be used in firearms training and is a good alternative to the existing expensive simulators available on the market.
