Barnabas - You didn't see this wireless recoil kit yet.

VirTra Systems Files Patents on IVR 4G System
December 3, 2004
Arlington, TX - December 3, 2004 - VirTra Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: VTSI) today announced the submission of three patent applications on its new IVR 4G™ combat readiness simulator to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Following the broad patent application this past March for the company's multi-screen simulator products, VirTra Systems now seeks protection for its latest innovations: 1) the Threat-Fire™ Belt, 2) Hybrid-CGI™ software, and 3) the world's first "drop-in" kit and magazine for wireless recoil in real weapons.

"These three inventions, along with our IVR™ training simulators, will further raise our current standard in realistic training throughout the military and law enforcement communities," commented Bob Ferris, VirTra Systems' president and head engineer. "These innovations are already in high demand, very affordable, and simple to operate. All three inventions work in unison, and are compatible with both our IVR HD™ and IVR 4G simulators.

"This work, coupled with the debut of the IVR 4G simulator, represents possibly the largest release of new technology, by several of the world's leading software and engineering talents, in the history of the industry," Ferris concluded.

The Threat-Fire Belt permits the simulator's instructor to deliver an electric "stun" to the trainee, simulating the sensation of being shot, thus enhancing the 360-degree experience associated with the company's IVR simulators. VirTra Systems has already received U.S. military orders for the Threat-Fire Belt.

The Hybrid-CGI software integrates "green-screen" video, panoramic images, 3-D sound, and computer-generated images. While creating more realistic training scenarios, the new software greatly decreases both cost and time of scenario production. Hybrid-CGI software includes a self-authoring module, and is more user-friendly than traditional production methods. This software has also already been ordered by the U.S. military.

The "drop-in" kit and magazine is non-permanent, and delivers wireless recoil to a real weapon. The magazine is refillable, and the aiming laser features hyper-accurate collinear placement for both immersive combat training and marksmanship qualification. Use of untethered training weaponry is a highly desirable milestone within the industry.

All three innovations will be demonstrated next week at the Interservice/Industry Training and Simulation Education Conference in Orlando, Florida.
