Introduction

The Rifle VR Controller (VRM4R) is a firmware-updatable LED controller used in conjunction with a virtual reality (VR) headset. Manufactured by Axon Enterprise, Inc., this VR Controller is a dedicated training device that replicates a typical field use rifle.

The Rifle VR Controller (VRM4R) is built using specialized components from multiple manufacturers:

• Rifle housing: Manufactured by GBLS, a company that specializes in producing non-functional training rifles for simulation and instructional use.
• HTC tracker: Manufactured by HTC, the tracker wirelessly connects to the headset to track motion, identify the controller, and communicate with the Axon bridge.
• Axon bridge: Manufactured by Axon Enterprise, Inc., the bridge provides wireless communication between the tracker and VR headset.

Using a proprietary 2.4 GHz protocol, advanced IR LED Constellation tracking technology provides accurate three-dimensional physiology of the VR Controller for inside-out tracking of objects within a virtual reality environment. It provides continuous VR Controller-to-headset data exchange, letting you interact in a virtual world with the device mimicking the standard actions of drawing and firing a field weapon. This creates a true-to-life training experience without the use of live weapons and ammunition.
