Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods, apparatus, and systems for optimizing an energy exerted on a performer falling from an elevated platform and impacting an airbag. A system is configured to determine a weight of the performer to fall from the elevated platform toward the airbag, measure a distance between the elevated platform and the airbag, and set an air pressure of the airbag based on the weight and the distance prior to the performer falling toward the airbag. The system is further configured to determine, while the performer falls toward the airbag, a velocity the performer will reach upon impact with the airbag, and adjust the air pressure of the airbag based on the velocity while the performer falls toward the airbag to optimize an energy exerted on the performer when the performer impacts the airbag.

A locker system includes a locker area, a plurality of lockers positioned in the locker area, and a plurality of augmented reality headsets. Individual augmented headsets of the plurality of augmented reality headsets including a display and being configured to be worn by respective individual users. The locker system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of lockers and the plurality of augmented reality headsets, wherein the controller comprises a memory and a processor configured to execute instructions stored on the memory. The instructions include generating locker assignments to assign individual lockers of the plurality of lockers to the respective individual users, communicating the locker assignments of the assigned individual lockers to the respective individual users using the plurality of augmented reality headsets, and controlling operation of the assigned individual lockers of the plurality of lockers based on signals received from the plurality of augmented reality headsets.

Locker management techniques

A system includes an animated character head having one or more processors configured to receive an input, to make an animation selection based on the input, and to provide a first control based on the animation selection. The animated character head also includes a display configured to provide an indication of the animation selection for visualization by a performer operating the animated character head.
