You've heard of C.A.V.E. technology for Disney?

This is something that seems even better than that:

10mb video, total immersion live 3d modeling interacting with real objects.

Mods, feel free to move if you don't think this is the right area for it

That was truly amazing.

Please oh please oh please, let there be someone: imagineer, animator ( do they have any left) or even better a suit at Disney thinking:

What great stories we could tell with this!!!!

as opposed to:

What a crapload of money we can make with this!!!

This is stunning and could be incredible, but a Disney Suit trumps an Imagineer everytime; ergo, mrsR123, it'll have to be justified according to your last statement before it becomes incorporated as an attraction!

That was awesome! Gotta love it! I want to bump this up!

Super cool. Would love to see Disney do something with this. Being smart enough to actually doing it will be the question.

Since I posted this in a few sites, there was some minor confusion about it.

First, it is just on "camera" that these effects happen...for now.

BUT, I do still see a massive potential for it, if it can be utilized differently.

One similarity I can think of is the holograms of ghosts on the Haunted Mansion. If the live interaction with environments can be projected like that, then that is one good way of doing.

Another possibility I thought of is having a new type of "vr" with glasses where you see in real life a 1 story building, but with these glasses on, it looks to you like a true to life skyscraper, tower, etc.

This is all just speculation however, of what I think that video is displaying and the technology. I don't know much about it past that link.

The Ghosts in HM are not holograms. They are created using a very old illusion called Peppers Ghost.

Oh yeah, I recall it now, hearing about how they made them work...nevermind
