Abstract

A motion system comprising a controller, a media source, a motion device, a display, and a software program. The media source, motion device, and display are all in communication with the controller. The software program runs on the controller and generates an interface comprising a play list and a play button. The play list contains a list of script items, where each script item contains motion data for operating the motion device to perform a desired movement sequence. The play button causes the software program to transfer a selected script item from the play list to the motion device to cause the motion device to perform the desired movement sequence.

Claims
