摘要: A method for operating a ride attraction includes moving a ride vehicle along a pathway, with at least one rider in or on the ride vehicle, and with the at least one rider wearing a headset having a display and a window. Virtual images are created on the display based at least in part on a position of the ride vehicle along the pathway, with the at least one rider viewing the virtual images, and with the at least one rider also simultaneously viewing real world images of real world objects through the window. The virtual images may be overlaid onto the real-world images.

摘要: A high frame rate image system in a theme park attraction simultaneously displays images that are unique to each individual viewer. Although all viewers in a room or theater may be watching the same screen or area, they may see entirely different images. This allows the attraction to present more complex story narratives, and also allows the projected images to be matched to specific guests.

摘要: The interactive theater system is executed on an interactive gaming computer (IG PC) configured to execute an interactive multi-player video game. The IG PC outputs a video stream to a display system, such as a projector and screen, which allows the players to view the multi-player video game. Each player sits in a multi-sensory seat for providing multi-sensory feedback to each player during execution of the interactive multi-player video game. The player provides input using an input device having an infrared camera and motion sensors. The infrared camera is used to image an infrared light arrangement positioned above-the multi-sensory seats. Infrared camera data and motion sensor data is used by the IG PC to accurately determine the real time position of each input device. Players in a first interactive theater system can compete with players in a second interactive theater system in real time.

摘要: A method for operating an entertainment attraction includes receiving an input selection from a guest relating to a characteristic of the attraction. The guest creates their guest profile, or by accesses their previously created profile stored in a memory. The profile may be changed by the current input selection made by the guest, with the changed profile stored for the guest's next use of the attraction. If the attraction is a ride, the guest is assigned to a viewing position, an active prop, a seat, or a vehicle of the attraction. The attraction is then operated with the input selection and/or the guest's profile influencing a characteristic of the attraction as perceived by the guest. A mobile application gameplay may unlock specified game features to change the attraction experience. The attraction may alternatively be a theater or game arcade type of attraction.

摘要: An entertainment structure and apparatus principally comprising a 360-degree 2D and/or 3D cinematic theater. Seating for audience members is arrangeable on a circular motion base platform. A compound curved screen may lower from above to surround the theater upon a circular motion base platform, providing seamless media. A 2D/3D projection system is oriented within the structure to provide 2D/3D images on the screen through projection overlap for edge blending. A control system is used to rotate, pitch and roll the motion base platform. The control system can be synchronized with the media presentation. The structure includes a number of variations such as a variety of seating orientations, a stationary screen, a variety of screen configurations, and modular tracking seating.

摘要: A method for operating a ride attraction includes directing a rider to a kiosk or a mobile application on a smart phone, with the rider creating a character profile or accessing his/her previously created character profile. The rider is assigned to a ride vehicle or to a seat in a ride vehicle. The rider boards the into or onto the assigned vehicle or seat. The ride vehicle moves along a path in the ride attraction. At least one of the path, special effects, onscreen graphics and scoring may be modified according to the rider's character. A mobile application gameplay may unlock specified game features to change a ride experience

摘要: Various types of entertainment venues, including theme or amusement parks, game arcades, and similar venues are improved by providing a local server exchanging data with a cloud server. The local server controls and communicates with game or entertainment elements at the venue. The game or entertainment elements may be games at the location, input devices used by participants, such as smart phones, and/or audio and video devices. The cloud server controls and communicates with off-site elements. The cloud server and local server may communicate and synchronize data over the internet. The entertainment venue consequently can provide varying and evolving experiences through gamification.

摘要: In a theater or ride attraction, a motion base articulates a load-bearing seating platform by independently revolving two intermediate wedge-like rings to provide pitch, roll and yaw movements. Unlike flight simulator types of motion bases, these movements do not rely on substantially horizontally pivoting axes, and the resultant loads imparted to motive components. Rather the movements are provided by a circumferentially wedging action between the rings. The motion base has high load carrying capacity and reduced space requirements.
