[Problem] It is preferable to provide a technology that allows input of a position at which a person who performs a predetermined performance should be present to be easily performed in advance so that the position at which the person should be present is confirmed later.

[Solution] Provided is an information processing device including a self-location acquisition unit configured to acquire self-position information of a mobile terminal in a global coordinate system linked to a real space, and a disposition position determination unit configured to acquire template data indicating a disposition pattern of at least one virtual object, and determine a position away from a current position of the mobile terminal indicated by the self-position information as a disposition position of a first virtual object in the global coordinate system, on the basis of the self-position information and the template data.

A wing costume article of manufacture has a semi-rigid support structure formed in a symmetrical shape emulating a shape of a set of wings, a fabric liner formed over the semi-rigid support structure, a plurality of synthetic feathers cut from synthetic foam sheet material, the synthetic feathers cut in a variety of lengths and widths, each with a first end and a second end, the second ends fastened to the fabric liner in a manner to present the plurality of feathers outward simulating a set of natural wings, and a harness interface configured to engage the wing costume by the semi-rigid support structure to the upper back of a wearer, presenting the wing costume as the set of wings.

A head for a walk-around costume is provided that is adapted for enhanced visibility. The costume head includes an outer shell defining an interior space for receiving a head of a human performer. The outer shell includes an aperture allowing incoming light from an exterior space to enter the interior space, and an eye location for the human performer is spaced apart from the aperture when the head is received in the interior space. To provide an enlarged field of view, the costume head includes an optical viewfinder assembly disposed within the interior space of the outer shell between the aperture and the eye location. The optical viewfinder assembly is adapted for receiving the incoming light and transmitting the incoming light to the eye location to move a viewpoint of the human performer to the aperture to provide a larger field of view of the exterior space.

Systems and methods for operating a mouth-operated moveable apparatus are described. The apparatus may include a case, a mechanism coupled to the case, and a curved band having a first end coupled to the mechanism and a free second end, wherein the mechanism includes a biasing element automatically holding the band in a first position, wherein the case and mechanism are configured such that when the apparatus is placed in the mouth of a user the mechanism is actuatable by a jaw movement of the user, and where the actuation of the mechanism moves the band from the first position to a second position.

The invention proposes an apparatus for generating three-dimensional visual effects, characterised in that it comprises, in combination: a controlled smoke generator (10) comprising a synthetic smoke source and a means for directionally propelling the smoke produced by the generator in order to form a plume of smoke extending in a certain direction, and a controlled light generator (20), suitable for generating one or more light beams in the plume of smoke and in the direction in which it extends, the light beam or beams being essentially contained in said plume of smoke. Application in particular to the production of “lightsaber” visual effects, and more generally to varied three-dimensional light effects.

A prop wrap in the current invention can quickly and easily change the appearance of irregularly shaped rigid props used in pageantry art shows and enable the prop to graphically integrate with the show's concept, design, and theme. The prop wrap provides a flexible film on which an infinite number of designs can be applied. These designs include but are not limited to customized patterns that integrate tightly with the shows, school mascots, or group logos. By using the prop wrap a user is not limited to solid colors or simple patterns made available by conventional methods of painting or taping props. Each piece of the prop wrap incorporates a unique cutting pattern that matches a designated surface of a specific prop, such as a particular model and size of mock rifles, shakos, or shoes. This allows the prop wrap to align perfectly to the shape and size of the prop when it is affixed to the prop. The prop wrap also serves to protect the prop itself.

A system that includes an interactive object comprising a special effects system, a controller that controls operation of the special effects system, and environmental sensors configured to generate sensor data. The system includes a central controller that operates to receive user profiles and receive sensor data from the environmental sensors of an interactive environment. The central controller is then able to identify a user based on the collected sensor data, wherein the identified user is associated with the interactive object. The central controller is then able to characterize a movement of the interactive object based on the sensor data and communicate instructions to the controller of the interactive object to activate a special effect of the special effect system, wherein the instructions are based on the user profile, the user profile being associated with the identified user, and the characterized movement or action of the interactive object.

A kigurumi staging support apparatus to be worn by a performer of kigurumi. The kigurumi staging support apparatus acquires environmental information of surroundings of the kigurumi, stores staging information of the kigurumi, and outputs, based on the staging information, staging of the kigurumi in accordance with the environmental information.
