Publication number: 20240012471Abstract: A variable effect activation system includes one or more sensors that generate data. The data can be assessed to determine if the data is indicative of a valid input to an interactive effect. Valid inputs may be assessed based on a lenient or relatively non-stringent threshold to permit a wide variety of guest actions to be considered valid inputs. While many of these guest actions may not be recognized as part of preprogrammed interactions with an interactive environment, the system nonetheless assesses characteristics of these inputs to provide an appropriate response, e.g., via activation of an interactive effect in a manner that aligns with the characteristics.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Victor Lugo, William Wilson, Hannah Pogue, Jacob Edelen, Charles Babb, Robert Wiedemann, Robert Michael Jordan, Michelle Smith
