Zusammenfassung:MULTIPLE PARTICIPANT MOVING VEHICLE SHOOTING GALLERY An interactive system that employs moving vehicles in which participants ride and from which they engage computer-generated pop-up and prepositioned simulatedtargets using simulated weapons. The vehicle carries the participants a predetermined distance using a track or trough-guidance mechanism through a covered and darkened path as they engage the simulated targets. Each participant operates independently of the others and engages targets that are displayed during travel along the track. The participants occupy seats having safety restraints, and operate a fixed, swivel-based simulated weapon and sight it to fixed targets having predetermined locations and to the targets generated by a computer in accordance with a preselected scenario. Each vehicle has a transponder that provides continual broadcasts of location and game data. This coordinated data specifically locates a moving eyepoint so that the portrayed scenes can be made geometrically correct. This also gives the illusion of 3-D depth through perspective and parallax effects.
