In embodiments of the present invention, methods for reproducing an acoustic environment are described, which may include accessing a computer stored multi-dimensional sound profile of a first space, measuring a multi-dimensional sound profile in a second space, comparing multi-dimensional sound profile of the first space and the multi-dimensional sound profile of the second space, accessing the sound characteristics of an audio output device that will serve as the audio output device in the second space, and modifying the audio output of a media content of the audio output device taking into account the sound characteristics of the audio output device, wherein the modifying reduces the difference as determined in the comparing between the multi-dimensional sound profile of the first space and the multi-dimensional sound profile of the second space as output by the audio output device.

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 rigging system comprising a plurality of members including: a first hexagonal support piece comprising six side members, a plurality of rod holes, a plurality of side holes, and a plurality of set screw holes, a first rod piece that has a diameter of size configured to fit closely within to the diameter of the rod holes, a first set screw that has a diameter of size configured to fit closely within the diameter of the set screw hole, a first connection bolt that that has a diameter of size configured to fit closely within the diameter of the side hole and the plurality of members having a plurality of configurations providing structural support.

There is provided a modular system for assembling a structure including a frame formed of a plurality of metal profiles. The system includes one or more joints, each including at least one slot and configured for attaching one of the metal profiles to another one of the metal profiles and one or more pairs of wall piece elements. Each pair of wall piece elements attaches one section of a wall to one section of one of the metal profiles; each element including at least one slot. Also included is a plurality of fasteners, one of the plurality of fasteners (i) corresponding to one of the slots (ii) and configured for securing attachment of at least one of the respective joints or one element of the pair to the metal profile. Another one of the plurality of the fasteners is configured for securing attachment of the other element of the pair to the wall.

A modular show stage apparatus includes a foldable base, a front-left pole assembly, a front-right pole assembly, a rear-left pole assembly, a rear-right pole assembly, a plurality of cross poles, and set of curtains. The front-left pole assembly, the front-right pole assembly, the rear-left pole assembly, the rear-right pole assembly are perimetrically mounted to the foldable base. The plurality of cross bars is mounted to the pole assemblies and functions as the roofing structure for the modular show stage apparatus. The set of curtains is attached to the plurality of cross poles so that the rear side, the left side, and the right side of the modular show stage apparatus can be covered. The set of curtains also slidably positioned about the front side of the modular show stage apparatus so that the foldable stage can be open and closed for the audience.

A surface-mounted vehicle includes a body and a mounting system configured to couple the surface-mounted vehicle to a surface. The surface-mounted vehicle also includes a propulsion system configured to move the surface-mounted vehicle along the surface. In addition, the surface-mounted vehicle includes a rail coupling system having at least one rail coupled to the body. The at least one rail is configured to couple a component to the surface-mounted vehicle. The rail coupling system also includes multiple electrical connectors disposed along the at least one rail. The electrical connectors are configured to provide electrical power to the component.

Aspects of the present disclosure are related to a flexible shell structure. The flexible shell structure includes a plurality of rigid support strips that collectively define a three-dimensional shape of at least one part of a character form. The flexible shell structure further includes at least one coupling member configured to couple two or more rigid support strips of the plurality of rigid support strips. The at least one coupling member enables the flexible shell structure to flex when a first force is applied to the flexible shell structure in a first direction, and enables the flexible shell structure to resist flexing when a second force is applied to the flexible shell structure in a second direction.
