Suspended theater edge actuated seat moving machine
A seat moving machine comprises a passenger seat assembly disposed in between opposing seat supports which raise and lower the passenger seat assembly. One or more passenger seat beam rotators are operative to rotate the passenger seat assembly to change the pitch independently of the raising and lowering. In embodiments, rather that the seat rows being pivoted up with a rotating floor, a rotate function alters their mutual positions to one another while the lift function is taking place which brings the back seat rows up and over the front seat rows, allowing control over mutual row position during lift and in the show. Though no cables are involved, by combining the motions of lift and rotate and without any further equipment, an immersive theater system comprising the seat moving machine still employs seating that is suspended.

STAGE WITH MOVING PARTS
A device for constructing a stage includes fixed stage parts and movable stage parts. The device includes a set of actuators provided to be physically connected to the movable stage parts and each including a communication module for communicating with a server. The server includes a central communication module for communicating with communication modules of the actuators. A controller is connected to the server and has an operator interface including input means and visualizing means. The controller and server are configured to generate control signals for each actuator on the basis of an input via the input means. Control signals include a safety parameter which indicates a safety level, and an operator can activate different safety levels with different keys. The device is provided to execute control signals with a safety parameter which corresponds to the activated safety level.

AERIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM
An aerial navigation system comprises upright members mounted with anchor points at a substantially same height. Each anchor point is provided with an electric motor. A carrier device is coupled to the electric motors at corresponding ones of the anchor points using a set of first wires. The carrier device is operably moved by the electric motors in a horizontal plane co-planar with the anchor points. Further, a robotic device is suspended from the carrier device using a second wire. The robotic device is moveable within a volume defined between a ground surface, the plurality of upright members and the horizontal plane by at least one other electric motor mounted on the carrier device. Furthermore, a navigation control system synchronises operations of electric motors at the anchor points and the carrier device for moving the robotic device from a current location to a target location within the volume.
STAGE CLIMBER
An article of manufacture for providing a stage prop, and more specifically, an article of manufacture for a compact, multi-functional set of stairs useful as a stage platform for live performances in a theater and in on-line social media-based video recordings is disclosed. The article has a front side having a blank wall surface, a set of rising steps along a top surface, and a rear wall having a storage door to internal storage volume and a fold-down table surface. The article of manufacture provides a performance platform when oriented with the rear wall located on the floor with a bottom side and a long side oriented towards an audience perspective. The article further comprises a plurality of removable rear wall panels for providing attachment for additional staging props. The plurality of removable wall panels comprises a door, a wall having a window, and a wall having a table.

APPARATUS FOR SIMULATING FLYING MOTION
In one aspect, a system for people to simulate flying motion may include a plurality of supporting posts, one or more control units, and each of the control unit is connected to the user's body through a string, and a sensor is disposed on each string. The sensor can detect the tension change of the string and transmit the signal to the control unit to adjust the tension accordingly. When the user moves the wings, the change of the tension can be detected by the sensor and transmitted to the control unit to further adjust the tension of each string by pulling or releasing the strings to enable the user to enjoy the flying motion.
