Ride Display Color Correction Using Guest Viewpoint Layers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Displays in attractions, such as LED panels and digital screens, often exhibit changes in color balance, leading to some colors appearing more dominant or faded, which can detract from the guest experience.
Innovation Solution
A display correction system that determines guest configurations and view points in ride vehicles to generate and apply color correction layers, adjusting color channels for pixels to balance color appearance across the display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If displays are used in ride attractions, then guest entertainment and visualization are provided, but color balance changes occur causing some colors to become dominant or faded
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-calculates color correction layers for multiple possible guest configurations and viewpoint combinations before the actual ride operation. When a guest boards the ride vehicle, the system quickly identifies the corresponding pre-calculated correction layer and applies it, avoiding real-time computation delays and ensuring immediate color correction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically selects and applies different color correction layers based on the actual guest configuration and viewpoint detected during each ride cycle. The correction parameters are adjusted according to the specific seating arrangement and viewing angles, making the color balance adaptation dynamic rather than static.
2Reliability
If color correction layers are generated for multiple guest configurations, then color consistency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the color correction problem into discrete, manageable components by creating separate correction layers for different guest configurations and viewpoint combinations. Each correction layer is stored as an independent data set, allowing the system to handle complexity through modular organization rather than attempting real-time calculation of all possible scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates multiple copies of color correction data corresponding to different guest configurations and viewpoints. Instead of calculating corrections in real-time for each scenario, pre-calculated correction copies are stored and rapidly retrieved based on the actual ride conditions, significantly reducing computational complexity during operation.
3Manufacturing precision
If color correction is applied in real-time during ride cycles, then color accuracy is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs the computationally intensive color correction calculations in advance, before the ride actually operates. Multiple correction layers for various guest configurations and viewpoints are pre-computed and stored. During the actual ride, the system only needs to identify the appropriate pre-calculated layer and apply it, dramatically reducing processing time while maintaining high color accuracy.

AI summary
A display correction system including a display and a control system including processing circuitry and a memory, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, are configured to cause the processing circuitry to determine a first guest configuration in a ride vehicle during a first ride cycle, and determine a first view point based on the first guest configuration. The instructions are also configured to cause the processing circuitry to generate a first color correction layer based on the first view point and apply the first color correction layer to the display.
