A modular staging system and method includes an overhead hoist grid for lifting staging modules providing for a vast variety of combinations of the truss components for making many different kinds and shapes. This design is flexible, scalable and can be reconfigured in an accelerated manner resulting is substantial cost savings for a production.

An entertainment enhancement system includes an infrared projection system configured to output an infrared image to a target surface. The infrared projection system includes a controller configured to coordinate projection of the infrared image with a separate action by generating instructions for projecting the infrared image based on data received by the controller indicative of an active status of the separate action and an infrared emitter configured to receive the generated instructions and emit the infrared image to the target surface. The system also includes a viewing device configured to be wearable by a user. The viewing device includes at least one lens and a filter assembly configured to shift the infrared image from an infrared frequency to a visible light frequency such that the infrared image is viewable on the target surface via the viewing device.

Disclosed is a performance directing system that simultaneously controls cheering lighting devices of audiences by linking a performance hall and a remote place. According to an embodiment of the inventive concept, it is possible to identically implement and provide performance directing effects on audience seats of a performance hall to audiences at a remote place. Accordingly, audiences at the remote place may have the same experience as watching a performance at an actual performance site.

A drum assembly includes a drum, a stimulus processor assembly and a light pattern display generator. The drum includes a drum shell that at least partially defines a drum interior. The stimulus processor assembly receives a stimulus, generates an input signal, and converts the input signal to an output signal. The light pattern display generator receives the output signal from the stimulus processor assembly. The light pattern display generator generates a light pattern display in response to the output signal. Additionally, the light pattern display generator projects the light pattern display at least partially within the drum interior. The light pattern display generator can include one or more of an animation laser, a hologram projector and a lumin disk. The stimulus can be generated by the drum or by a source remote from the drum.
