Abstract: A park ride for use in theme parks, amusement parks, and other settings. The new ride includes a track defining a ride path for a passenger vehicle (or multiple vehicles that may be linked in a train). The vehicle is configured, such as with a bogie assembly with two to four or more wheels, to roll upon and engage the track. The ride includes a drop swing propulsion system that is adapted to drop a section of track upon which the passenger vehicle is supported from a first elevation to a second elevation that is lower than the first elevation. The dropping motion involves swinging the track with a linkage assembly, which with other components of the system may form a four-bar linkage, so as to impart a propelling force on the vehicle to move it along an exit track section provided at the second, lower elevation.

Abstract: A system for providing a physical projection routine includes a hardware processor, a system memory storing a software code, and a projection platform. The hardware processor is configured to execute the software code to measure an environmental parameter of a venue, determine, based on the environmental parameter, a desired orientation of the projection platform for executing the physical projection routine, and orient the projection platform according to the desired orientation determined based on the environmental parameter. The hardware processor and software code then execute the physical projection routine by the projection platform oriented using the desired orientation determined based on the environmental parameter.

Abstract: A method of concealing a first ride vehicle in an amusement park attraction from a second ride vehicle in the amusement park attraction is disclosed herein. The method includes selecting content to project onto the first ride vehicle based at least on a characteristic of the first ride vehicle and projecting the selected content onto the first ride vehicle, where an appearance of the first ride vehicle is modified as viewed from the second ride vehicle by the projected content

Abstract: Systems and methods to compilate an experience summary based on real-world experiences are described herein. Exemplary implementations: receive authentication information for a user at a location of one or more real-world experiences; determine whether the authentication information is valid; determine, responsive to determination that the authentication information is valid, a set of digital assets that are associated with an address included in a digital wallet of the user based on transactions recorded on a decentralized ledger; determine the sets of content correlated the individual digital assets of the set; determine the one or more real-world experiences of the user, wherein individual real-world experiences correspond with content updates to the content that are of the content types; and update the sets of content correlated to the individual digital assets of the set in the electronic storage based on the content updates corresponding to the one or more real-world experiences.

Abstract: Various embodiments set forth systems and techniques for changing a face within an image. The techniques include receiving a first image including a face associated with a first facial identity; generating, via a machine learning model, at least a first texture map and a first position map based on the first image; rendering a second image including a face associated with a second facial identity based on the first texture map and the first position map, wherein the second facial identity is different from the first facial identity.

Abstract: A system includes a hardware processor and a memory storing software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive video frames, generate a unique identifier for association with the video frames, and determine whether the unique identifier is stored. If the unique identifier is stored, the software code is further executed to identify an encoded media file associated with the unique identifier, the encoded media file including encoded video frames corresponding respectively to the received video frames. If the unique identifier is not stored, the software code is further executed to encode the video frames to produce the encoded media file, and store the unique identifier.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method trains a first parameter of a differentiable proxy codec to encode source content based on a first loss between first compressed source content and second compressed source content that is output by a target codec. A pre-processor pre-processes a source image to output a pre-processed source image, the pre-processing being based on a second parameter. The differentiable proxy codec encodes the pre-processed source image into a compressed pre-processed source image based on the first parameter. The method determines a second loss between the source image and the compressed pre-processed source image and determines an adjustment to the first parameter based on the second loss. The adjustment is used to adjust the second parameter of the pre-processor based on the second loss.

Abstract: Techniques for alignment of temporal markers and media content. These techniques include identifying a first plurality of temporal markers for alignment with a first item of media content, and determining, using a computer processor, alignment for the markers and media content. This includes: (i) identifying a plurality of differences between the first plurality of temporal markers and a second plurality of temporal markers, where the second plurality of markers relate to the first item of media content and are alternatively labeled compared with the first plurality of temporal markers, or (ii) determining a cumulative frame-by-frame difference (CD) for each temporal marker of the plurality of temporal markers, the first item of media content, and a second item of media content. The techniques further include performing an alignment action for the first plurality of temporal markers and the first item of media content.

Abstract: A wide-angle, retroreflective real image display system that produces real images that can be viewed and interacted with by a group of people who can move about a space to view the real image. In one embodiment, the display system includes two or more stations each having their own retroreflector, beamsplitter, and displayed image or illuminated object. The stations, and their beamsplitters and retroreflectors are positioned adjacent at angular offsets or rotation angles, e.g., each neighboring or adjacent beamsplitter and retroreflector is rotated about an axis extending through the joining seam. The displayed images or illuminated objects are rotated at similar angles from each other to provide a retroreflective pyramid with co-located real images. In other embodiments, the display system uses a single retroreflector, beamsplitter, and displayed image or illuminated object but adds a pair of curved reflectors with matching shapes and sizes to provide an undistorted retroreflective real image.
