Abstract: An animation system includes an animated figure, multiple sensors, and an animation controller that includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor. The instructions cause the animation controller to receive guest detection data from the multiple sensors, receive shiny object detection data from the multiple sensors, determine an animation sequence of the animated figure based on the guest detection data and shiny object detection data, and transmit a control signal indicative of the animation sequence to cause the animated figure to execute the animation sequence. The guest detection data is indicative of a presence of a guest near the animated figure. The animation sequence is responsive to a shiny object detected on or near the guest based on the guest detection data and the shiny object detection data.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a conical-shaped articulated member. The conical-shaped articulated member includes a conical-shaped structure including an inner surface and an outer surface. The conical-shaped articulated member further includes a plurality of rotary actuation units disposed along a length of the conical-shaped structure, where at least two rotary actuation units of the plurality of rotary actuation units are coupled together. The plurality of rotary actuation units are configured to perform one or more motions.

Abstract: A method may include acquiring, via a capture system, a dataset associated with a user at a first location, detecting, via a control system, the user at a second location, displaying, via an environmental system, one or more images generated from the dataset at the second location in response to detecting the user at or past the second location, and triggering, via a special effect system, a special effect during the displaying at the second location in response to detecting the user at or past the second location. The dataset may include image data of the user.
