Abstract

The invention relates to a method for operating an amusement ride (1), in particular a roller coaster, comprising at least one vehicle (2) which moves along a path and at least one passenger (30). Said method generates a virtual reality corresponding to a journey of the vehicle (2) by means of a computer program which is specific to the amusement ride and said virtual reality is represented on the head-mounted display (20) associated with the passenger (30) of a vehicle (2) in accordance with the position of the vehicle (2) on the path and in accordance with the position and / or orientation of the head-mounted display (20). According to a first solution of the claimed invention, the computer program which is specific to the amusement ride is carried out on a mobile terminal (10) of the passenger (30), said mobile terminal comprising a communications interface (10.1). According to a second solution of the claimed invention, the computer program which is specific to the amusement ride is carried out on a device which is firmly connected to the vehicle (2), said device being designed with connection means for connecting the head-mounted display (20) of the passenger (30). The invention also relates to an amusement ride (1), in particular a roller coaster for carrying out the claimed method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of operating a device, in particular an amusement ride, in particular a roller coaster, with at least one vehicle moving along a path and accommodating at least one passenger, as stated in the preamble of claim 1 stated. Furthermore, the invention relates to an amusement ride, in particular a roller coaster, for carrying out the method of the invention. The invention also relates to the operation of vehicles such as automobiles, trains or airplanes, or other exercise equipment. Background technique [0002] The method of the preamble is also known from EP 2 138 213 B1, in which the virtual reality of the roller coaster ride is represented on glasses or head-mounted displays worn by the passengers. The image of real vision in the passenger's current visual field is replaced by the stereoscopic presentation of virtual reality through the head-mounted display. Here, depending on the position and / or orientation of the h...
