Abstract: Present embodiments are directed toward a dynamic control system for an amusement park ride. The system includes a game server that generates game data describing movement of a virtual vehicle through a virtual environment; a programmable logic controller (PLC) configured to conditionally execute instructions of a dynamic ride profile relative to one or more stored limits to operate physical actions of the ride vehicle; and a dynamic ride profile server communicatively coupled to the game server and the PLC. The dynamic ride profile server is configured to: receive input data, sensor data, and the game data; provide the received data as inputs to one or more physical models to generate a portion of a dynamic ride profile based on the movement of the virtual vehicle through the virtual environment; and provide the portion of the dynamic ride profile to the PLC for conditional execution.

Abstract: Methods of forming an optical element, and related devices, components, and systems are disclosed. One method comprises printing a mold element comprising at least one mold surface using an additive manufactured device. The method further comprises providing a plastic sheet over the mold element. The method further comprises vacuum thermoforming the plastic sheet such that at least a first portion of the plastic sheet conforms to the at least one mold surface of the mold element. This vacuum thermoforming of the plastic sheet forms an optical element from at least a second portion of the plastic sheet. One advantage of this method is that different optical elements may be quickly and inexpensively fabricated, thereby reducing the cost of development and production of the optical elements.

Abstract: An AI-enabled Quintessential Conseiller (“QC”) system analyzes and advises a beneficiary's business. The QC system recognizes a plurality of patterns associated with beneficiary business data including clients and products or services, wherein the plurality of patterns are tracked by exploring strategic clustering visualizations of the beneficiary business data. The QC system then recommends improvement(s) to the beneficiary business, including improvements having an impact on beneficiary bottom line, and identifying areas requiring reformulation to move the beneficiary's business forward.

Abstract: A wearable display system has a first lens sub-assembly defining a first optical path and a second lens sub-assembly defining a second optical path. The first and second lens sub-assemblies are disposed in a frame in respective first and second lens-holding sub-assemblies. The frame also has a device holder configured to maintain a display of a device in the first and second optical paths. The display can be maintained within a predetermined range of distances and angles with respect to the first and second lens sub-assemblies. This arrangement permits the display, such as, for example, a smartphone display, independently to provide a specific image to each eye of a user. For example, different images can be independently provided to each eye from different portions of a common display, thereby enabling the user to perceive a three-dimensional image.

Abstract: A see-through augmented reality system is disclosed. The system includes a head-wearable frame and a lens. The lens has at least one field-of-view (FOV). A sensor is configured to be coupled with respect to a head of a user. The sensor generates sensor data that changes responsive to movements of the head. A display apparatus is mapped to an interior surface of the lens. A controller is coupled to the sensor and to the display apparatus. The controller is configured to determine a current scene within the FOV based at least in part on the sensor data. The controller determines an out-the-window (OTW) scene portion of the current scene and a non-OTW scene portion of the current scene and generates OTW imagery that depicts the OTW scene portion. The controller causes the display apparatus to emit light in accordance with the OTW imagery toward the interior surface of the lens.
