You already own most of the gear.
ReadyForge is an appliance, not a computer lab. It brings the box and the camera; you bring a projector and the iPad already in your bag. The whole install is two power cables and one short HDMI — no new laptop, no IT ticket, no surprise Windows updates.

Three cables. Everything else is wireless.
The appliance broadcasts its own Wi-Fi, so your iPad, iPhone, or laptop join over the air — nothing plugged in. The only physical wires are power to the appliance, power to the projector, and one short HDMI between them.

We bring the smart part.
-
The appliance
A mini-PC or Raspberry Pi running ReadyForge. It boots straight into the projector view and broadcasts its own private Wi-Fi.
-
The bundled camera
The hit-detection camera, pre-paired to the appliance. Clips on, points downrange, and it just works — no driver disc, no install.
-
Ready-to-run software
Scenarios, drills, and the two-screen runtime are already on the box. Plug in and go — nothing to download or license online.
You bring what’s on hand.
-
A projector
Any HD projector with an HDMI input. Short-throw works beautifully in a tight classroom.
-
Your iPad or iPhone
The instructor control surface runs in the browser — join by scanning a QR code. No app to install, no laptop to buy.
-
A training laser
Compatible with any training laser you already own — laser pistols or cartridges. No vendor lock-in.
None of the headaches of a PC-based sim.
Most simulators are a Windows PC in a costume — which means everything a Windows PC drags along. ReadyForge is a sealed appliance, so the whole category of IT pain simply doesn’t apply.
From the case to “go” in minutes.

Power on the appliance
It boots straight into the projector view — no desktop, no login.

Connect the projector by HDMI
One short cable. That, plus the two power leads, is the entire wiring job.

Scan the QR on your iPad
It joins the box’s private Wi-Fi and opens the instructor control surface in the browser.

Pick a scenario and run it
Start, stop, reset, and score from your hand. You’re training in under five minutes.
Packs up. Travels. Works anywhere with a private network.
No fixed install, no wiring closet. The box, the camera, and your tablet drop into a case and set up in a classroom, a range bay, or a hotel conference room — wherever the next class is.
