I saw this at last year's GovSec conference at the convention center. It's a very cool system for training police / SWAT / military that's basically a very advanced version of [insert favorite war FPS here]. Each shooter is in a stall; you can utilize an in-board comms system or your own, and the movement is controlled by a mini-joystick mounted on the side of the weapon. They had mentioned last year they were developing a commercial version; sounds like the shooting range is the first incarnation of it. I rather enjoyed picking off several middle-management government suits last year... OOOH! I saw this at last year’s GovSec conference at the convention center.
