Patent Number: 10973106 
Title: Systems and Methods of Directing a Lighting Fixture in a Venue 
Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided for directing a lighting fixture in a venue. A user device is paired with a three-dimensional model space that represents a physical space of the venue. A lighting beam destination is indicated with the user device using a position and an orientation of the user device. The indicated lighting beam destination is converted into coordinates in the three-dimensional model space. A lighting fixture orientation value to direct a lighting beam of the lighting fixture to the lighting beam destination in the physical space of the venue is determined based on the coordinates of the lighting beam destination in the three-dimensional model space of the venue. A motor associated with the lighting fixture is actuated to move the lighting fixture to a lighting fixture orientation in the physical space of the venue based on the lighting fixture orientation values.
