Disney Unveils the HoloTile Floor, Inching Us Closer to a Real-Life Holodeck - IGN

Alongside announcing that Lanny Smoot will be the first Disney employee besides Walt to be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, Disney also shared one of his newest projects called the HoloTile floor, which just may be a game changer for VR and could bring us ever closer to experiencing the Holodeck from Star Trek.

This technology looks legitimately impressive.

Here’s a video of it working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3Sh6mu4zbs&t=1

    So, that was a passive tech, keeping you in a place, and this actively works to steer you to where you need to be. This seems better in the long run for that purpose even though it’s much more complicated.

      Oh, I agree. I’m duly impressed. It’s just that I immediately thought back to that scene from community. I’m not good about remembering to call out my sarcasm.

      Unfortunately inertia presents a problem it’s the same with omnidirectional treadmills. https://youtu.be/fvu5FxKuqdQ
