Abstract
An improved video system that enables a player to interact with mid-air stereo perception images of foreshortened perspective animation and with animation displayed on the projection screen or monitor, by controlling the motions of a robotic simulation apparatus deployed in front of the projection screen. The robotic apparatus is controlled by commands issued by the player and by feedback information from the animation. The mid-air coordinates of transducers installed on the robotic apparatus, which could be a vehicle or a gun, for example, are calculated using a geometric method to determine the coordinates of a point on the displayed animation aimed or steered at by the gun or vehicle. Animation location coordinates coded in the tracks are then compared to the coordinates of said point and the animation responds accordingly.
