Disney has announced their latest project called the HoloTile floor, which could revolutionize the VR experience. Lanny Smoot, the first Disney employee besides Walt to be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, is behind this groundbreaking invention. The HoloTile floor is described as the “world’s first multi-person, omni-directional, modular, expandable, treadmill floor.” It consists of tiles that keep people or objects in the center, allowing for a shared VR experience without limitations. This technology not only has applications in virtual reality but could also be used in theatrical stages. While the specific applications are not yet known, the HoloTile floor offers a glimpse into a future with limitless possibilities.
