US 2019/0318539 A1 · SMART TRACKING SYSTEM

Abstract

Like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Book, the infinite tracking system allows for an amusement park ride or attraction to identify a user or participant based on unique characteristics, track them throughout the ride or attraction, and modify the experience based on the user or participant's chosen preferences. For example, a user or participant may choose outer space as their preferred theme. The tracking system may employ a variety of sensors to identify and distinguish the user or participant based on characteristics such as their physical size and clothing, and locates them throughout the amusement park ride or attraction. The system associates the outer space theme preference with the user or participant. As the user or participant travels throughout the amusement park ride or attraction, the system displays relevant effects, and the user or participant enjoys a unique and customized visual, audio, and physical experience that features their preferred theme.
