Portable fashion modeling runway

Abstract

A portable runway can include a stage, an underlying surface defining a boundary, the stage disposed within the boundary and in contact with the underlying surface, an entryway coupled to the stage comprising a first support and a second support, a first panel coupled to and extending outwardly from the first support, a second panel coupled to and extending outwardly from the second support, a runway including one or more runway panels, the runway coupled to and extending from the stage such that an opposing portion of the runway leads to a surface lower than the stage, the runway in contact with the underlying surface, and an interface assembly in contact with the underlying surface and configured to engage the portable runway with a user by responding to a user input.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A portable runway comprising:
 a stage;   an underlying surface defining a boundary, the stage disposed within the boundary and in contact with the underlying surface;   an entryway coupled to the stage comprising a first support and a second support;   a first panel coupled to and extending outwardly from the first support;   a second panel coupled to and extending outwardly from the second support;   a runway comprising one or more runway panels, the runway coupled to and extending from the stage such that an opposing portion of the runway leads to a surface lower than the stage, the runway in contact with the underlying surface; and   an interface assembly in contact with the underlying surface and configured to engage the portable runway with a user by responding to a user input.   
     
     
         2 . The portable runway of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the stage, the entryway, the first panel, the second panel, or the runway comprise one or more luminescent materials. 
     
     
         3 . The portable runway of  claim 1 , further comprising a shelf, wherein the shelf is configured to store accessories for the portable runway. 
     
     
         4 . The portable runway of  claim 1 , wherein each of the entryway, the first panel, the second panel, or the runway is removably coupled to the stage. 
     
     
         5 . The portable runway of  claim 1 , wherein the first panel and the second panel are pivotably coupled to the entryway. 
     
     
         6 . The portable runway of  claim 3 , wherein each of the stage, the entryway, the first panel, the second panel, the runway, or the shelf are sufficiently compact to be carried by hand. 
     
     
         7 . The portable runway of  claim 1 , wherein each of the entryway, the first panel, the second panel, the stage, or the runway comprises one or more materials that fluoresces when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. 
     
     
         8 . The portable runway of  claim 1 , wherein the interface assembly is a speaker configured to play a sound that corresponds to the user input. 
     
     
         9 . The portable runway of  claim 1 , wherein each of the entryway, the first panel, the second panel, the stage, or the runway comprise one or more phosphorescent materials. 
     
     
         10 . The portable runway of  claim 1 , wherein the stage is illuminated with a plurality of lights. 
     
     
         11 . The portable runway of  claim 10 , wherein the plurality of lights is chosen from a group comprising at least one of light emitting diodes, incandescent lights, or fluorescent lights. 
     
     
         12 . The portable runway of  claim 10 , wherein the plurality of lights is powered by a mobile energy source. 
     
     
         13 . The portable runway of  claim 10 , wherein the plurality of lights is activated using one or more of (i) touch sensors or (ii) motion sensors. 
     
     
         14 . A method for controlling a portable runway experience, the method comprising:
 detecting an assembly status of a portable runway;   calibrating locations of one or more sensors based on the assembly status and sensor data from the one or more sensors;   detecting one or more components for the portable runway;   receiving instructions associated with a user selection; and   controlling the one or more components based on the one or more components interacting with a user using the instructions and the sensor data.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising storing the sensor data for the user to access. 
     
     
         16 . A portable runway system comprising:
 one or more sensors, one or more lights, one or more speakers, and one or more cameras associated with a portable runway;   one or more memory devices storing instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
 receive sensor data from one or more sensors; 
 communication with one or more lights associated to at least turn on and off or dim; 
 adjust at least a volume or an output of the one or more speakers; and 
 capture, from the one or more cameras, sensor data. 
   
     
     
         17 . The portable runway system of  claim 16 , wherein the one or more lights are chosen from a group comprising light emitting diodes, incandescent lights, or fluorescent lights. 
     
     
         18 . The portable runway system of  claim 16 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to store the sensor data of the one or more cameras in the one or more memory devices. 
     
     
         19 . The portable runway system of  claim 16 , wherein the output of the one or more speakers is determined from the sensor data received by the one or more sensors. 
     
     
         20 . The portable runway system of  claim 16 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to receive an input from a user device to control the portable runway.
