Yeah, AR/VR would be amazing with this! The ability to move safely about means you can move in those environments Apple Vision Pro has. Make them able to be explored a bit. It could also be used for exercise like a treadmill but far more portable and easier to handle. Imagine jogging or walking thru any imagined or real environment with a AR/VR device on.

Lanny Smoot is a genius inventor and beautiful human being; his contributions to the world of entertainment and joy are almost unparalleled, and I truly hope he is discussed more, as he is a landmark person and a cultural heritage!
Holo Tiles are game changer technology that can be used in a plethora of industries and use cases.
As much as I hope they are deployed and succeed in the entertainment industries, at Disney parks/resorts and theater, I hope they also get used for TV and film production too!
More so, the benefits to VR at home and at installed venues would be mind blowing, and can further increase immersion.
Yet, going much further, I hope to see Holo Tiles used within the health and workout industries, especially for those who are differently abled, have disabilities, and/or suffer health issues such as neurological diseases or age-related issues.
To give people powerful new tools to help their health, or be able to move easier, would be close to miraculous to current solutions available.
I also think holo tiles would be a brilliant replacement of treadmills, Depending on how the technology can be adapted (if necessary).
More Lanny Smoot and Disney Imagineering content please!

Disney will prob never release these holotiles outside of theme parks. Don’t look forward to buying one for the house.

Flip the tiles upside down and make a new form of transportation.
Put them on my shoes so I can glide across the floor.
Could also be used on a warehouse floor.

And most of this may never be seen by your average guest so I’ll only get excited over tech when I know it’s actually being place into a spot we can all visit/see/use it. (& not for a super limited time like that droid) In fact one of the major things you talked about (the saber) just got taken away from us because the Starcruiser closed so who knows if we’ll ever see that again.

very cool… imagining a horror film with a smart home that uses holotiles to keep them trapped in the house… or imagine prisons with no walls, just holotiles that redirect people inside if they to escape… in-home mobility for the elderly?… lots of interesting potential

Definitely a game changer, but still going to require different habits and movements than real motion. One thing a lot of people forget is momentum. If we turn a corner quickly, we lean into the turn to keep our balance, and without the actual motion of going around a corner, this is a counterproductive instinct.
Absolutely an evolution in VR/AR technology, but I don’t think it’ll be possible, in the forseeable future, to get movement indistinguishable from reality. That just requires a full volume to move in, because you can’t really fake momentum without pushing and pulling on a person’s body.

As often as Disney frustrates me with their theme park pricing and huge crowds, I find these technologies to be incredibly inspiring and magical. It would be nice if the Walt Disney company has a whole could try to reframe their products and experiences to better fit the budget of the average family.
