Abstract: Systems and methods to simulate the movement and interaction of objects on modular omnidirectional actuated floors are disclosed herein. A system may include a processor configured to generate a set of particles along a boundary of a contact surface of an object on a modular floor including a plurality of tiles configured to move independently. The processor may also be configured to assign a linear velocity to each particle of the set of particles. The processor may also be configured to assign an angular velocity to each particle of the set of particles. The processor may also be configured to simulate the motion of the object on the modular floor based on the assigned linear and angular velocities. Additional systems and associated methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for moving passengers is disclosed. The system includes an auxiliary mobility platform including a plurality of tiles, the plurality of tiles includes a first plurality of tiles defining a loading region and a second plurality of tiles defining an intermediate region. The system also includes a carriage positioned on the auxiliary mobility platform and defining a passenger compartment, the carriage movable by the auxiliary mobility platform, and a carrier vehicle to support the carriage and movable along a predefined ride pathway.

Abstract: A system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing a software code, a video camera communicatively coupled to the computing platform, and a user device communicatively coupled to the computing platform, the user device including a position/location (P/L) detection unit. The hardware processor is configured to execute the software code to obtain a three-dimensional (3D) map of a physical venue, identify one or more object representations within the physical venue, and detect, using the video camera, a collision of a light beam emitted by the user device with one of the one or more object representations. The hardware processor is further configured to execute the software code to identify, based on the 3D map and an orientation data sampled from the P/L detection unit, the user device having emitted the light beam colliding with the one of the one or more object representations.

Abstract: An interactive user experience system is disclosed. The system includes a processor, a display in electrical communication with the processor and configured to display a visual content of interactive content, a modular tile floor in electrical communication with the processor and including a plurality of tiles configured to move independently to induce or respond to a desired motion for a user in contact with the modular tile floor, a sensor in electrical communication with the processor. The sensor detects at least one of an orientation or a position of the user on the modular tile floor, and based on the detected orientation or position of the user, the processor modifies at least one of the visual content or a movement of the plurality of tiles.
