Publication number: 20250114713Abstract: A slide and ride system are described. A slide is described with a processor comprising ride prediction software configured to use inputs on the rider and slide to predict ride output factors including rider position and speed and to use the predicted one or more ride output factors to direct and adjust an image displayed on the slide interior corresponding to rider speed and position on the slide. The projector used may be configured to display an image on at least part of the slide interior, the image corrected to appear flat when projected by the projector onto the slide interior surface. The slide may also comprise at least one LED strip lighting loop, each loop configured to fit around a slide exterior and project LED light into the slide interior, or LED spot lights configured to spot light the slide interior, the or each LED spot light comprising a prefabricated assembly configured to be fitted to a ring cut into the slide wall, or optionally roof, from the slide interior.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2023Publication date: April 10, 2025Applicant: KHE LimitedInventors: Gordon William HARPER, Jonathan Richard BAXTER

Patent number: 10500482Abstract: A method of operating a video game system can include applying an optical filter in a field of view of a camera to filter out visible light and allow the camera to view non-visible light directed at a display screen positioned within the field of view of the camera. The method can also include processing the video output feed from the camera with a computer processor to identify a location of a non-visible light dot within the field of view of the camera that is projected onto the display screen by a light targeting peripheral unit. The method can also include calculating the location of the non-visible light dot within the field of view of the camera as a proportion of one or more dimensions of the field of view of the camera and translating the location of the non-visible light dot within the field of view of the camera onto a location on the display screen.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Performance Designed Products LLCInventors: Steve Lavache, Richard Baxter, Thomas John Roberts
