Abstract
A ride system may include a ride vehicle that supports a passenger and an attention tracker to determine a current direction of attention of the passenger. The ride system may also include a control system for maintaining an environment of the passenger. Maintaining the environment may include determining a set of content to be incorporated into the environment based at least in part on the current direction of attention as well as a future direction of attention that is determined utilizing a machine learning algorithm.
Claims19
A ride system comprising:
- a ride vehicle configured to support a passenger over a ride period;
- one or more sensors configured to generate sensor data indicative of a current direction of attention of the passenger;
- and
- a control system configured to:
- determine the current direction of attention of the passenger based on the sensor data;
- utilize a machine learning algorithm to estimate a future direction of attention of the passenger for at least a portion of the ride period based at least in part on the current direction of attention;
- and
- maintain an environment of the passenger, wherein maintaining the environment comprises determining a change to a set of content of the environment based at least in part on the future direction of attention, wherein the change to the set of content comprises an addition of or elimination of an object or effect from the set of content.
A ride system comprising:
- a ride vehicle configured to support a passenger over a ride period;
- one or more sensors configured to generate sensor data indicative of a current direction of attention of the passenger;
- and
- a control system configured to:
- determine the current direction of attention of the passenger based on the sensor data;
- utilize a machine learning algorithm to estimate a future direction of attention of the passenger for at least a portion of the ride period based at least in part on the current direction of attention;
- and
- maintain a digital environment of the passenger by:
- selecting a first portion of the digital environment to render based on the future direction of attention;
- selecting a second portion of the digital environment to display based on the future direction of attention;
- or
- both.
A method comprising:
- generating, via one or more sensors, sensor data indicative of a current direction of attention of a passenger of a ride system;
- determining, via control circuitry of the ride system, the current direction of attention of the passenger based on the sensor data;
- utilizing, via the control circuitry, a machine learning algorithm to estimate a future direction of attention of a passenger for at least a portion of a ride period based at least in part on the current direction of attention;
- and
- maintaining, via the control circuitry, a digital environment of the ride system, wherein maintaining the digital environment comprises:
- rendering a first portion of the digital environment based on the future direction of attention;
- displaying a second portion of the digital environment based on the future direction of attention;
- or
- both.
