Abstract:
1. A flying effects choreography system comprising: one or more input devices configured to receive flying effects choreography as flying effect data, the flying effect data comprising a sequence of one or more waypoints, each of the one or more waypoints defining a position in space; a physics engine configured to generate position data comprising a sequence of one or more spatial coordinates identifying a location of a performer hanging from a first end of a free-swinging pendulum cable as a second end of the pendulum cable is moved through the sequence of one or more waypoints, wherein the physics engine applies one or more laws of motion to generate the position data, and the second end of the pendulum cable is an attachment point connected to rigging, the rigging being configured to move the second end of the pendulum cable through the space; a visualization engine configured to generate one or more visualizations of the position data, the one or more visualizations including a graphical representation of the location of the performer; and one or more output devices configured to present the one or more visualizations to a user.
