Abstract
A ride system includes one or more sensors and a controller. The controller receives, from the one or more sensors, position data indicative of the position of a body and/or face of guest on the ride. Using the position data, the one or more controllers, determine a face direction, face rotation, or both of the guest, independent of sensor observations of the face direction and rotation. One or more features of the ride are controlled based upon the determined face direction and/or face rotation.
Claims20
A ride system, comprising:
- one or more sensors;
- and
- one or more controllers configured to:
- 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, on a ride;
- determine face direction, face rotation, or a combination thereof, of the guest based at least in part upon the position data, independent of sensor observations of the face direction and face rotation;
- and
- control one or more features of the ride based upon the determined face direction, face rotation, or the combination thereof.
A method, comprising:
- receiving position data of a guest from one or more sensors, the position data indicative of a position of a body, a face, or a combination thereof, of the guest, on a ride;
- determining face direction, face rotation, or a combination thereof, of the guest based at least in part upon the position data, independent of sensor observations of the face direction and face rotation;
- and
- controlling one or more features of the ride based upon the determined face direction, 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 a machine, cause the machine to:
- receive position data of a guest from one or more sensors, the position data indicative of a position of a body, a face, or a combination thereof, of the guest, on a ride;
- determine face rotation, face direction, or a combination thereof, of the guest based at least in part upon the position data, independent of sensor observations of the face direction and face rotation;
- and
- control one or more features of the ride based upon the determined face direction, face rotation, or the combination thereof.
