Systems and methods for guiding actors using a motion capture reference system

A system for enabling an actor to perform in synchronization with at least one event occurring during a scene, the system comprising:

• at least one prop adapted to be worn, held or carried by the actor;
• one or more actuators positioned at predefined locations on the at least one prop, wherein the one or more actuators are configured to generate and deliver feedback to the actor;
• a plurality of programmatic instructions stored in a non-transient memory and adapted to execute on a computing device, wherein, upon execution, the programmatic instructions are configured to:
• generate at least one graphical interface adapted to receive inputs from a user;
• receive, via the at least one graphical interface, an identification of at least one event occurring during a course of the scene;
• associate, via the at least one graphical interface, at least a time of occurrence to the at least one event within an overall duration of the scene;
• receive, via the at least one graphical interface, an identification of the at least one prop;
• assign, via the at least one graphical interface, the at least one event and the associated time of occurrence to at least one actuator on the at least one prop;
• configure, via the at least one graphical interface, at least one of a plurality of parameters of the feedback;
• and
• activate the at least one actuator to generate and deliver the feedback to the actor in response to the at least one event taking place at the associated time of occurrence.
