Walt Disney Imagineering Research
 | | | |
|
 | Situated near several business units of The Walt Disney Company, Imagineering Research focuses primarily on the needs of Walt Disney Imagineering, the organization that designs and builds Disney theme parks, resorts, cruise ships, and other entertainment venues. One portion of the research agenda covers related entertainment technologies: robotics, mobile computing, sensing, and displays. The other addresses human-computer interaction (HCI), social psychology, and environmental science. The tens of millions of guests per year visiting Walt Disney Parks and Resorts generate rich and unique research problems and provide an appreciative audience for our solutions. |
