    摘要: A special effect system may include a steam generator, a reheater, and a steam separator configured to generate dry steam. The steam generator is coupled to a show element comprising a one or more compartments. Steam from the steam generator passes through the reheater and the steam separator before entering the one or more compartments such that condensate is removed and cooling of the steam within the system between the steam generator and the show element is remedied.

    摘要: A system for facilitating user interaction with interactive areas includes a memory encoding processor-executable routines. The system also includes a processor configured to access the memory and to execute the processor-executable routines. The processor may identify data a user of an interactive area based on identifying data obtained at the interactive area. The processor may also utilize a trained machine learning model personalized for the user, wherein the trained machine learning model personalized for the user is configured to recognize idiosyncrasies of the user. The processor may also utilize the trained machine learning model personalized for the user in detecting an idiosyncratic task performed by the user interacting with the interactive area to activate a special effect associated with the interactive area based on interactive data obtained at the interactive area. The processor may further instruct the initiation of the special effect in response to detecting the idiosyncratic task.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure are related to a flexible shell structure. The flexible shell structure includes a plurality of rigid support strips that collectively define a three-dimensional shape of at least one part of a character form. The flexible shell structure further includes at least one coupling member configured to couple two or more rigid support strips of the plurality of rigid support strips. The at least one coupling member enables the flexible shell structure to flex when a first force is applied to the flexible shell structure in a first direction, and enables the flexible shell structure to resist flexing when a second force is applied to the flexible shell structure in a second direction.

    摘要: A reactive show action equipment system is disclosed, including show action equipment having one or more actuators and a special effects system coupled to the show action equipment. The special effects system includes an effects source and an effect emitter configured to expel a substance from the effects source to provide a special effect. The reactive show action equipment system also includes a sensor configured to detect a characteristic of the special effect or a characteristic impactful to the special effect and transmit data indicative of the characteristic. A control system is configured to receive the data indicative of the characteristic and instruct the one or more actuators based on the data indicative of the characteristic. In some embodiments, one or more components of the special effects system may be onboard the show action equipment.

    摘要: An interactive system includes a portable device configured to be used in an interactive environment. The portable device includes an input mechanism that initiates delivery of a virtual projectile. The interactive system also includes a control system that includes one or more processors. The one or more processors receive data indicative of a location and an orientation of the portable device and receive additional data indicative of actuation of the input mechanism. In addition, the one or more processors determine a successful virtual interaction of an interactive physical element with the virtual projectile based on the location and the orientation of the portable device during the actuation of the input mechanism, and adjust an interactive virtual element displayed on a display screen in response to the successful virtual interaction of the interactive physical element.
