Publication number: 20250005607Abstract: A crowd management system includes at least one local controller associated with an attraction area of an individual attraction within a theme park. The crowd management system includes a transceiver of the at least one local controller, where the transceiver receives guests data via wireless signals from guest-associated devices within a detection range of the local controller. The crowd management system includes a remote central controller in communication with the at least one local controller and the guest-associated device. The remote central controller receives the guest data from the at least one local controller and determines one or more crowd metrics of the individual attraction based on the guest data. The remote central controller generates an activity command based on the one or more crowd metrics. The remote central controller transmits the activity command to at least one guest-associated device of the guest-associated devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2024Publication date: January 2, 2025Inventors: Wei Yeh, Travis Cossairt

Patent number: 10572000Abstract: A mixed reality viewing system includes a viewer configured to be secured to a steady platform and operable by a user to view a theme through the viewer. The viewer includes a display device, a user interface comprising a zoom control, and at least one sensor comprising at least one camera. The mixed reality viewing system also includes a computer graphics generation system communicatively coupled to the viewer. The computer graphics generation system is configured to generate streaming media of a real world environment based on image data captured via the at least one camera of the viewer, generate augmented reality graphics, virtual reality graphics, or both, superimposed on the streaming media of the real world environment, and transmit the streaming media of the real world environment along with the superimposed augmented reality graphics, virtual reality graphics, or both, to be displayed on the display device of the viewer.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2017Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Universal City Studios LLCInventors: Travis Cossairt, Wei Yeh
