Exemplary venues allow for members of an audience at different locations within these venues to simultaneously interact with an interactive content. The interactive content can convey one or more requisite actions to be performed by the members of the audience. However, the one or more requisite actions can reach members of the audience at different instances in time. These exemplary venues can effectively compensate for these different instances in time such that the accuracy and/or the synchronization of one or more response actions, which are performed by the members of the audience in response to the one or more requisite actions, can be characterized as no longer being dependent upon their distance from the interactive content. Rather, the accuracy and/or the synchronization of the one or more response actions by the members of the audience to the one or more requisite actions can be considered as being related to the performance, for example, timing, of the one or more response actions themselves.

An attraction that includes interactive targets, a plurality of vehicles capable of moving between a plurality of fixed positions. The vehicles are configured to convey participants of the attraction. Transmitters fitted to the vehicles are for interacting with the targets. In the fixed positions of the vehicles, the transmitters of a pair of vehicles interact with the same target.

A system includes a gimbal, a shotgun microphone coupled to the gimbal, a camera, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to receive data indicative of an image or video feed from the camera. The at least one processor is also configured to determine, based on the data indicative of the image or video feed, a primary human speaker among a group of humans and a location of the primary human speaker. The at least one processor is also configured to control the gimbal to point the shotgun microphone at the location of the primary human speaker.

A controller device for interactive gameplay of a video game is provided, including: the controller device being configured to be handheld by a user; at least one motion sensor, said motion sensor generating motion data in response to movement of the controller device when handheld by the user during the interactive gameplay of the video game; a wireless communications device that receives gameplay video over a network from a remotely executing session of the video game; a projector, said projector being integrated with the controller device, said projector configured to project the gameplay video onto a projection surface in a local environment, wherein the projection of the gameplay video is stabilized based on the motion data.

A control device with a touch screen and motion sensors is held in one hand with the screen facing the user. Preferably, thumb motion of the hand holding the control device on the touch screen sensor of the control device is the input to control the motion and animations of an avatar, wherein the avatar motion is displayed on the control device touch screen or, in an embodiment, on an external display device. An important aspect of the present invention is tilting the control device, causing an angular rotation velocity, which can trigger a game event such as throwing, kicking, shooting or other action of the game.

Live event production and distribution networks, systems, apparatuses and methods related thereto are described herein. The described innovations may be used not only to present live events to audiences, but to do so in a way that provides audience energy and feedback to the performer(s) (e.g., a band) in a manner akin to that which they receive during a traditional live performance, thereby energizing and motivating the performers to give the best live performance they can, even in the absence of a co-located live audience. Some or all of the audience members may be represented by a visual surrogate displayed on an audience feedback screen set up to be viewable by the performers. The screen may be sized to fill a curtain window of stage on which the performers are performing, and the performers may optionally interact with one or more people in the audience during the live performance.

A digital video ramp assembly incorporates process-formed structural LED tiles with modular components that join in a system of scalable structural LED tiles forming a complete LED display structure with integrated LED embedded tiles with interlocking and inter-trans-positioning features sometimes requiring additional structural framing.
