Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de divertissement à simulateur en temps réel, interactif, animé, utilisant un jeu vidéo créé par ordinateur (ou réseau de jeux vidéo) interagissant avec un poste de base ou un simulateur animé, commandé par un utilisateur. Le sytème utilise un processeur d'ordinateur, une technologie d'affichage par projection montée sur casque, un cockpit animé, des manettes de commande ou manches à balai, un système sonore, et des jeux vidéo créés par ordinateur. Une pluralité de participants (habituellement deux) interagissent avec des scénarios vidéo sélectifs et chronométrés pour atteindre un objectif. On obtient une interaction au moyen des manettes et des boutons de commande. Chaque simulateur fonctionne indépendamment de l'autre, excepté que des groupes de participants peuvent jouer avec le même scénario, éventuellement en même temps en couplant mécaniquement ou en regroupant en réseau des ensembles de simulateurs. Chaque simulateur animé est conçu et amélioré esthétiquement pour se présenter sous la forme d'un véhicule spacial armé, par exemple, et il comprend un scénario vidéo interactif affiché virtuellement sur l'écran d'un pare-brise permettant aux participants d'interagir avec le système pour atteindre l'objectif de jeu prédéterminé. Le système de simulateur comprend des dispositifs de sélection (manettes ou manches à balai), des réseaux d'affichage, ainsi que des boutons et des commandes de sélection permettant aux participants d'être en interaction avec ledit système, en réponse à des informations provenant des scénarios présentés sur l'affichage.
