Abstract: A method for operating a lighting fixture. The method includes positioning a user device at a first interaction point in a venue, designating a first light attribute, the first light attribute including at least one of a first light color, a first light intensity, and a first light focus corresponding to the first interaction point, moving the user device to a second interaction point, and designating a second light attribute, the second light attribute including at least one of a second light color, a second light intensity, and a second light focus corresponding to the second interaction point, the second light attribute being different than the first light attribute. The method further includes controlling the lighting fixture to direct light having the first light attribute toward the first interaction point and controlling the lighting fixture to direct light having the second light attribute toward the second interaction point.

Abstract: Systems and methods for producing a lighting design for an event at a venue. One system includes a lighting fixture configured to project a light beam, an input device configured to receive a user input, and a controller including an electronic processor and a memory. The controller is configured to determine a path of the light beam, receive a first user input indicating a target of interest, and receive a second user input assigning a characteristic to the target of interest. The controller is configured to detect a collision between the path of the light beam and the target of interest, determine, in response to the collision, whether to project light onto the target of interest based on the characteristic, and control the lighting fixture to project the light beam on the target of interest.
