Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development was an early partner in helping shape this project with Meta. We are constantly striving to create immersive stories and experiences. The use of Ray-Ban Meta glasses in our parks will help guests to remain fully present, augmenting the park, rather than distracting from it. We’re excited for the future opportunities this technology unlocks—and how it can inspire entirely new guest experiences. ✨
At Meta Connect, we announced the Meta Wearables Device Access Toolkit, our first developer kit for AI glasses. Apply for preview access: http://bit.ly/4gvRLYj Built to help you leverage the clarity of open-ear audio and mic access from our AI glasses, this set of resources helps you create unique hands-free experiences, facilitate seamless interactions and enhance your mobile app capabilities. Click the link above to learn more, see early use cases from our developer partners, and apply for preview access to the SDK, documentation and testing tools.

Walt Disney Imagineering reposted this
Today, acclaimed filmmaker Leslie Iwerks announced a trailer for a new documentary titled "Disneyland Handcrafted" at Destination D23! 🏰✨ The documentary is a distinctly Disney feature film that captures the legacy and nostalgia of the days leading up to the opening of Disneyland Park. Through never-before-seen footage, even more detail is shared about the construction of the Happiest Place on Earth. 📺 Watch the film later this winter on Disney+ and Disney YouTube.

Congratulations be in order for the project team behind The Beak & Barrel! 🦜 🏴☠️ From the props to the menu, every detail of the new swashbuckling tavern at Walt Disney World reflects the incredible collaboration, creativity, and dedication of so many. We’re grateful to our FAM and Food & Beverage partners for bringing their expertise to the table, and to the cast members who will keep this story alive for guests every day. “This project is a career highlight for so many Imagineers, myself included. Years ago, I led the development of the electric Audio-Animatronics parrot. I’m thrilled that technology has found a home in The Beak and Barrel as Rummy!” – Ken Ricci, Executive Creative Development✨

“At Disney, we’re continually redefining what’s possible for immersive storytelling and guest experiences. This incredible technology will allow us to bring our breadth of stories to life in spectacular detail and faster than ever before. The best example of this is our upcoming update to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, where we partnered with NVIDIA to create a blockbuster-caliber experience debuting the same day as ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ film.” – Josh D’Amaro Read more about how Disney is leveraging NVIDIA’s RTX PRO Servers for the upcoming update to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run: https://lnkd.in/eXtu3Tha
