Ride-Mounted Immersive Display Synchronization for Moving Attractions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing amusement park attractions lack the ability to provide highly immersive and realistic special effects that dynamically adapt to the movement of ride vehicles and guests, limiting the overall entertainment experience.
Innovation Solution
An attraction system that includes a display system coupled to a ride vehicle and actuator, controlled by a control system that adjusts output based on real-time positioning and movement, allowing for synchronized and personalized virtual environment portrayal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a mobile set with projection devices is used to display media presentations to ride patrons, then the entertainment experience and interaction time are improved, but the system complexity and synchronization requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile set is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as both a transportation carrier for ride patrons and a dynamic projection platform for media presentations. The projection device can display different content (videos, images, presentations) to various patrons simultaneously, making the system universally applicable for both ride operation and entertainment delivery through a single integrated platform.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the mobile projected set moves with the carrier vehicle to synchronize with ride patrons, then the interaction with the projected scene is enhanced, but the synchronization precision and control complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the position and movement of the carrier vehicle through sensors and communication systems, using this feedback information to dynamically adjust the projection content and timing. The control system receives real-time data about vehicle location, speed, and orientation, then synchronizes the projected media presentations accordingly, ensuring that the visual content remains aligned with the moving patrons throughout the ride duration.

AI summary
An attraction system includes a ride vehicle configured to move within the attraction system, a display coupled to the ride vehicle, and a control system communicatively coupled to the display. The control system is configured to determine a position and/or orientation of the display within the attraction system and operate the display to present an image based on the position and/or orientation of the display.
