Abstract: An interactive portrait system includes a camera configured to capture imagery of an environment and a controller. The controller is configured to analyze the imagery to identify a guest in the environment, instruct an output device to provide an initial output to attempt to interact with the guest, and analyze the imagery to identify a behavior of the guest during the initial output, after the initial output, or both. The controller is also configured to evaluate the behavior of the guest using one or more artificial intelligence algorithms to determine whether the guest responded to the initial output. The controller is further configured to, in response to determining that the guest responded to the initial output, instruct the output device to provide an additional output to continue to attempt to interact with the guest.

Abstract: A head-mounted display testing system may include a ride motion simulator to simulate a movement of an amusement ride and a head-mounted display mounted on the ride motion simulator that displays a virtual image. The ride motion simulator includes one or more outward facing cameras configured to capture the virtual image and a physical marker when the head-mounted display is on the ride motion simulator. The controller is configured to receive the footage of the head-mounted display screen captured by the one or more cameras and to generate an indication of head-mounted display quality based on deviations from an expected display.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an object identification and detection system include an infrared reflectance assembly. The object identification and detection system include one or more infrared light sources and one or more sensors. The light is reflected from the object, and the one or more sensors detect light indicative of the reflected light and generate sensor data. A control system, coupled to the infrared reflectance assembly controls the one or more infrared light sources to illuminate a one transparent object. The control system also receives the sensor data from the one or more sensors and determines a characteristic of the object based on the sensor data. Further, the control system transmits a signal to activate a special effect based on the characteristic.

Abstract: A multi-sectional robot includes a first robot configured to communicate via a first protocol and a second robot coupled to the first robot and configured to communicate via a second protocol. Further, the multi-sectional robot includes a controller that operates based on a third protocol, receives movement commands to move the multi-sectional robot, determines a status of the multi-sectional robot, determines an operational profile for the first robot and the second robot based on the movement commands and the status, translates at least a first portion of the operational profile from the third protocol to a first translation in the first protocol, translates at least a second portion of the operational profile from the third protocol to a second translation in the second protocol, outputs the first translation to the first robot as first operational instructions, and outputs the second translation to the second robot as second operational instructions.

Abstract: A system for an attraction includes a sensor configured to capture imagery of a real world environment and a control system communicatively coupled to the sensor. The control system is configured to receive the imagery captured by the sensor, identify a real world element of the imagery, generate image data that includes a virtual element that corresponds to the real world element, and transmit the image data for presentation in the attraction.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle locker comprises a controller including a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions. The instructions are configured to cause the controller to associate an autonomous vehicle locker with a guest at a first location, receive an indication that guest items are within a storage compartment, secure the storage compartment based on the indication, instruct the autonomous vehicle locker to travel to a second location, identify the guest from a plurality of guests at the second location, and instruct the autonomous vehicle locker to unlock the storage compartment in response to identifying the guest.
