A system may include an inflatable assembly having a plurality of members. The system may also include a plurality of sensors disposed at a plurality of positions inside or around the inflatable assembly, such that the plurality of sensors may acquire data related to a shape of the inflatable assembly. The system also includes one or more valves, each configured to direct a fluid into a corresponding member of the plurality of members of the inflatable assembly. The system also includes a processor that adjusts positions of the one or more valves to cause the fluid to be directed into the corresponding member of the plurality of members of the inflatable assembly based on the data and a desired shape of the inflatable assembly.

A computerized method for controlling a target-motion device based on motion of a first source-motion object. The method has the steps of: capturing motion-related data at the first source-motion object, the motion-related data representing the mootion of the first source-motion object; processing, at the first source-motion object, the motion-related data by converting captured motion-related data from a first format to a second format; transmitting the processed motion-related data to a server; forwarding, by the server, the processed motion-related data to the target-motion device; and moving at least a portion of the target-motion device based on at least the processed motion-related data.

An interactive energy effect system that includes one or more sensors configured to generate a signal indicative of a position of a user-associated object in the system. The interactive energy effect system also includes a system controller that receives the signal and generates a first and second set of instructions based on the signal. The system controller transmits the first instructions to an energy emission system to cause the energy emission system to reposition and activate an energy emitter. Additionally, the system controller transmits the second instructions to a multi-layer display system to cause the multi-layer display system to move towards or away from the user-associated object.

A dynamic projection mapping system includes a projector configured to project visible light. The dynamic projection mapping system also includes a calibration assembly having a sensor configured to detect the visible light projected by the projector and an emitter configured to emit infrared light. The dynamic projection mapping system further includes a tracking sensor configured to detect the infrared light emitted by the emitter. The dynamic projection mapping system further includes one or more processors configured to perform a calibration to align the projector and the tracking sensor based on sensor signals received from the sensor and from the tracking sensor.

A wave generating apparatus mobile application controller and method are provided in which a mobile controller actuates a plurality of wave generating chambers in sequence using a delay between the actuation of each chamber to produce a rideable wave in a pool. The mobile application controller allows the user to select the exact type of wave to be produced by the wave generator apparatus by selecting the size, shape, and pattern of the wave. The application also allows the user to use a camera to photograph or record herself or someone else, even while riding a wave.

A fountain assembly, such as a play fountain, comprising one or more rechargeable power packs, each power pack comprising at least one power storage element, such as one or more supercapacitors. The fountain assembly further comprises a controller configured to continuously maintain the stored power of the power storage elements at or above a predefined level during operation.

A guest measurement system includes a controller associated with an attraction measurement area of an individual attraction within a theme park. The guest measurement system includes a controller configured to receive sensor signals indicative of guest characteristics from one or more sensors. The controller includes a processor configured to detect one or more limbs of a guest based in part on the sensor signals, identify a plurality of subregions for an individual limb of the one or more limbs, estimate dimensions for the identified plurality of subregions for the individual limb, and generate a guest height calculation based on the estimated dimensions for the identified plurality of subregions.

Dark ride system 1 typically comprises a ride space; a set of wirelessly-controlled and tracklessly-guided passenger vehicle platforms 10 dispatchable within the ride space; a set of wirelessly-controlled and tracklessly-guided themed scenery vehicle platforms dispatchable within the ride space; a load and unload area for passengers disposed proximate the ride space; and a control system. A predetermined set of passengers is allowed to board a predetermined subset of the set of wirelessly-controlled and tracklessly-guided passenger vehicle platforms at the load and unload area and the set of wirelessly-controlled and tracklessly-guided themed scenery vehicle platforms dispatched in an initial spatial arrangement at one or more predetermined times. During a ride show, the control system choreographs and changes a predetermined subset of the set of wirelessly-controlled and tracklessly-guided themed scenery vehicle platforms. At a conclusion of the ride show, the predetermined set of passengers are allowed to exit.
