Abstract: The interactive theater system is executed on an interactive gaming computer (IG PC) configured to execute an interactive multi-player video game. The IG PC outputs a video stream to a display system, such as a projector and screen, which allows the players to view the multi-player video game. Each player sits in a multi-sensory seat for providing multi-sensory feedback to each player during execution of the interactive multi-player video game. The player provides input using an input device having an infrared camera and motion sensors. The infrared camera is used to image an infrared light arrangement positioned above-the multi-sensory seats. Infrared camera data and motion sensor data is used by the IG PC to accurately determine the real time position of each input device. Players in a first interactive theater system can compete with players in a second interactive theater system in real time.

Abstract: A high frame rate image system in a theme park attraction simultaneously displays images that are unique to each individual viewer. Although all viewers in a room or theater may be watching the same screen or area, they may see entirely different images. This allows the attraction to present more complex story narratives, and also allows the projected images to be matched to specific guests.
