Custom Controls Design

By design, guests can follow any actor from space to space and explore dozens of hidden easter eggs. This presented a unique challenge for lighting controls: multiple timelines must run concurrently and asynchronously, in concert with pre-recorded sound and live bands, but be centrally cued by a stage management team via closed-circuit video.   Additionally, we wanted to use period-appropriate push-button style light switches, but be able to selectively lock them out during shows.   The controls system integrates both theatrical and architectural systems for unified, flexible command.  Detail: control diagram of cabaret table lights shown in the previous slide. Guests can flip the service call switch to change the color of the LED and summon waitstaff.
