I'm currently designing an AI-assisted guest-flow intelligence system for a confidential large-scale immersive entertainment venue.

The venue already has an extensive hardwired camera network. The goal is not to replace it. It's to turn selected camera feeds into a new operational intelligence layer.

System Architecture

The proposed system uses a dedicated onsite NVIDIA-powered AI server to:

Detect guests anonymously without facial recognition

Associate guests into temporary operational groups

Display numbered group markers on a live floor map

Measure dwell time, occupancy, pacing, and group gaps

Identify developing slowdowns, compression, and bottlenecks

Monitor participating camera feeds

Generate end-of-shift operational reports

Two Complementary Interfaces

Live Map Overview

A command-center display showing where anonymous guest groups are located, how many people each marker represents, and where congestion is developing.

Route Operations Dashboard

A simplified dashboard built for fast decisions, tablets, and mobile viewing. It shows the active problem, its severity, and the recommended response.

The Hard Engineering Problem

The system is designed around the venue's existing cameras and DVRs, using controlled read-only video streams and local processing. All operational video analysis and event data remain onsite.

The hardest part is not creating a beautiful dashboard. It is engineering reliable tracking through darkness, fog, strobes, costumes, occlusion, and non-overlapping camera views while honestly displaying uncertainty when a handoff cannot be confirmed.

Current Work

Technical architecture

Computer-vision validation planning

Onsite server design (custom NVIDIA build)

Camera and zone mapping

Route-aware group handoff logic

Event database design

Live dashboard prototyping

Acceptance testing and deployment planning

The Approach

This is the kind of project I enjoy most: taking infrastructure a business already owns and transforming it into a system that helps the operation see more, respond faster, and make better decisions.

Existing surveillance becomes operational intelligence.
