VirTra Systems Files Patent Application on Training System

VirTra Systems, Inc. today announced it has applied for a United States patent on the company's IVRT HD product line of advanced training simulators.

"The IVR HD series of firearms training systems represents a significant milestone in simulator capability, as well as affordability, which makes this patent application of particular importance," said Bob Ferris, VirTra Systems' president and head engineer. "As the originator of multi-screen training systems for situational awareness and judgmental use-of-force, it is appropriate that we seek protection of our intellectual property."

VirTra Systems' IVR HD series is the first line of affordable, 360-degree, true high-definition use-of-force training simulators.

"This application effectively secures a 'patent pending' status on all of our multi-screen products, giving notice that we will comprehensively protect the innovations we have developed for the marketplace," said Mr Ferris.

VirTra Systems secured a patent for its Universal Control BoardT (UCB) in January, 2002. The UCB is a powerful computer adjunct which greatly expands and enhances an off-the-shelf PC's ability to control and activate a multitude of hardware devices, without user intervention, and is important to many of the company's products.
