The metaverse(元宇宙) may be headed to a Disney theme park near you. Disney got a a "virtual-world
simulator" patent shortly before the new year. The new technology could be
used to project(投射) 3D images on real-world objects to
create interactive guest experiences throughout its parks without the need for
a wearable headset or mobile device.
Disney already uses AR
technology for large entertainment at its theme parks such as using projection
mapping to bring its characters to life on storefronts, waterfalls, and other
real-world structures. But this new technology would be significantly
different: it would track each park visitor to personalize the projections they
see on nearby objects and walls. For example, a family walking by a storefront
could see Mickey Mouse greet them as they pass.
"We are excited
about the possibilities related to this type of technology," said a Disney
spokesperson, adding that "there are no current plans to introduce this
technology, into an upcoming experience." The spokesperson also said that
Disney "files hundreds of patents each year as we explore developing
technologies."
However, combining the
metaverse into its theme parks would certainly be on track with Disney's goal
to tell stories to guests through a "3D canvas(画布)." CEO Bob Chapek said, "Our efforts to date are only a
prologue(序幕) to a time when we'll be able to connect
the physical and digital worlds even more closely, allowing for storytelling
without boundaries in our own Disney metaverse."
It's worth noting that
Disney has a history of securing patents just to keep competitors from getting
them first, which may very well be the case here. "It's possible that they
may never use it, but my sense is this is very much something they are going to
commercialize," said Ed Khalili, a patent attorney with Founders Legal.
