Abstract
A ride vehicle system includes a seat configured to support a passenger in a ride vehicle. The seat includes a seat pan, and the seat pan includes a membrane defining an internal volume and an active fluid disposed within the internal volume. Additionally, the ride vehicle system includes a field generator configured to generate an applied field in the active fluid to change a property of the active fluid. The seat pan is configured to deform under a weight of the passenger to form a contour conformed to a shape of the passenger in an absence of the applied field.
