Object orientation detection system

A method, comprising:

• receiving ride cart data from one or more sensors indicative of a presence and position of a ride cart on a ride;
• determining a ride cart orientation based on the ride cart data;
• receiving position data of a guest from the one or more sensors, the position data indicative of a position of a body, a face, or a combination thereof, of the guest;
• determining face orientation, face rotation, or a combination thereof, of the guest based at least in part upon the ride cart orientation and position data;
• and
• transmitting data indicative of the determined face orientation, face rotation, or a combination thereof to a downstream controller for subsequent control based upon the determined face orientation, face rotation, or the combination thereof.

A tangible, non-transitory, machine readable medium comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of the machine, cause the machine to:

• receive ride cart data from one or more sensors indicative of a presence and position of a ride cart on a ride;
• determine a ride cart orientation based on the ride cart data;
• receive position data of a guest from the one or more sensors, the position data indicative of a position of a body, a face, or a combination thereof, of the guest;
• determine face rotation of the guest based at least in part upon the ride cart orientation and the position data;
• and
• transmit data indicative of the determined face orientation, face rotation, or a combination thereof, to a downstream controller for subsequent control based upon the determined face orientation, face rotation, or the combination thereof.
