the graphic explaining how the mat works was really good and informative

People tend to forget that Disney Imagineering is actually one of the most advanced robotics companies in the world. Since their tech is often meant to be interacting with children instead of tech demos or military, they have this amazing experience overcoming the uncanny valley.

As a former Disney Imagineer & current archivist with the Walt Disney Archives in Anaheim, I am so happy that my former cast members gave YOU the opportunity to test these all out! I worked with Lanny for a 3 month period in mid 2018 doing some research on articulating movement for this in a strict alpha build & cannot believe the evolution of where it is now! Congrats Marques - I couldn’t think of a more deserving person to come to our lab 💜

I love those droids in the beginning. It feels so futuristic.

We need to get another episode where you interview Lanny! I'm sure Disney was pretty strict on who gets to talk and say what, but I want to hear from Lanny.

Imagine being queued up for a ride and when someone tries to cut, the floor just puts them back where they started.

It's so cool to see Valve Steam Deck being used for development work that isn't games.

Marques just not even mentioning the fact that he got hands-on with one of the "real" extending lightsabers while simultaneously showing it is really, really funny.

Very interesting. It’s louder than I expected. Great idea. It occurs to me that the radial velocity on the edge of the disc makes it such that there is a slipping friction thing happening. You would have to have an infinitely small tangential point touching in order to eliminate that which is not possible. Very fun to think about.

@-sturmfalke-

These little robots have the same expressions as animated characters! Mad props to the engineers that built and programmed these. My mind is blown that this is even possible already.

I am happy he talked about the eyes and inner ear. I've tried to explain it to people who talk about VR sickness and don't understand it. It's the same reason why you can get seasick (along with the rolling). You can earn your VR/Sea legs, by just sticking with it and your brain will build new pathways to make it okay.

Tilted rotating discs is absolutely genius for an omnidirectional treadmil. Having this for VR would be killer

5:24 getting stick drift on that would be something else

@paulaguirre1276

this installed in the floors of high end retail would certainly be an answer to all the smash and grab mobs. As someone commented on another video of this device "its all fun until the floor doesn't let you leave.

Disney using a steam deck as a controller is hilarious 😂

Very jealous. I've always wanted to visit Disney Imagineering. Such incredible stuff they're working on there. Great video.

Thanks for all the details. Perfectly described. I do hope they continue to develop this.

3:07 the is very clever. I've thought quite a bit about this, but this solution is far more eloquent than anything I'd considered
