An interactive user experience system is disclosed. The system includes a processor, a display in electrical communication with the processor and configured to display a visual content of interactive content, a modular tile floor in electrical communication with the processor and including a plurality of tiles configured to move independently to induce or respond to a desired motion for a user in contact with the modular tile floor, a sensor in electrical communication with the processor. The sensor detects at least one of an orientation or a position of the user on the modular tile floor, and based on the detected orientation or position of the user, the processor modifies at least one of the visual content or a movement of the plurality of tiles.

Techniques for animatronic design are provided. A plurality of simulated meshes is generated using a physics simulation model, where the plurality of simulated meshes corresponds to a plurality of actuator configurations for an animatronic mechanical design. A machine learning model is trained based on the plurality of simulated meshes and the plurality of actuator configurations. A plurality of predicted meshes is generated for the animatronic mechanical design, using the machine learning model, based on a second plurality of actuator configurations. Virtual animation of the animatronic mechanical design is facilitated based on the plurality of predicted meshes.

Machine learning for animatronic development and optimization

A black-light display creates dynamic and animated imagery by employing a UV laser system ( ) configured to scan a luminescent material ( ) to produce a UV-excited static or dynamic image.

Black-light display

A system and method for enhancing the realism of a displayed image may include an image display subsystem and a shadow projector. When an image is displayed, a shadow is projected near the image so that the shadow appears to be cast by the image. Shadows and lighting effects may also be reflected within a displayed image by rendering shadows and lighting corresponding to the viewer's environment within the image before or during display.
