Claim of US Patent No. 10,973,106
1. A method of directing a lighting fixture in a venue, the method comprising:pairing a user device with a three-dimensional model space that represents a physical space of the venue;
indicating, with the user device, a lighting beam destination in the physical space of the venue using a position and an orientation of the user device in the physical space of the venue;
converting, with an electronic processor, the indicated lighting beam destination into coordinates in the three-dimensional model space;
determining, with the electronic processor, 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 based on the coordinates of the lighting beam destination in the three-dimensional model space; and
controlling, with the electronic processor, actuation of a motor associated with the lighting fixture to move the lighting fixture to a lighting fixture orientation in the physical space of the venue based on the lighting fixture orientation value.
