On the new Disney Cruise ship, the Disney Dream, there are a lot of new technologies. One of these new technologies is a system called touchbaince. This new system is an interactive projection system. It allows people to control images. I have seen this technology in my local mall at the Colorado Mills but Disney has set it up on their cruise ship. These images can be displayed on a wall, screen, ceiling, floor, or really any surface. The system reads the body at 30 times per second and the image has a pixel sensitivity of 19200 pixels. This system is based off a Windows software and uses a projector to make the interactive game possible. On the Disney Dream,
On the Disney Dream, this interactive floor in an industry first with having this technology on a cruise ship. Also, it was taken one step further when Disney took the interactive game technology and allowed for an interactive adventure. This is done by a group of kids flying over the streets of London with none other than Peter Pan or riding the ocean waves with Crush. I mean Dude, this is awesome. Also there is an interactive game with a maze for children to get a ball through a maze(source). This touchbiance technology is relatively new and Disney has already took it to this new level.
Touchbiance is not just for fun and games, it could also take window shopping to a new level with interactive windows. But the main idea of this technology was originally for advertisements. Take a look at what they have already done with the technology.
Very neat stuff. I think I saw these when they first came out being advertised to restaurants to make the entire table an interactive menu. I have not yet seen it in practice, but that would be a very neat use for this technology.
