D\u2019Amaro said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cDisney+ has been phenomenally successful at the Disney company. We have the benefit of having these unbelievably powerful assets in the ground and the combination of a company that\u2019s got such a strong and growing digital footprint, with the physical footprint, I think gives us opportunity to fuse those two things together like no other company can.<\/p>\n<p>I think that as the Disney company continues to see such huge success with Disney+, and as you see new intellectual properties start to materialize -\u2014 whether that be in the world of Marvel or the Imagineers creating something incredibly new and interesting \u2014 that is the Disney difference. We will bring those things together to take to the world in a different way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He didn\u2019t get specific about how Disney+ <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> and TV shows could be integrated into the park, but it\u2019s probably a safe bet that they\u2019ll figure out a way to make <strong><em>The Mandalorian<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 and probably the rest of the upcoming <em><strong>Star Wars<\/strong><\/em> shows on the streaming service \u2013 part of the experience in Star Wars: Galaxy\u2019s Edge. Plus, there\u2019s Avengers Campus opening in June, an area of the park that D\u2019Amaro says \u201cwill never be done.\u201d That means they will always figure out new ways of updating it, and that includes fresh technology that changes the experience in the physical park.<br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_2 --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-607421 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/avengerscampus-webbuilding-night-700x316.jpg\" alt=\"Avengers Campus Details\" width=\"700\" height=\"316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/avengerscampus-webbuilding-night-700x316.jpg 700w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/avengerscampus-webbuilding-night-360x162.jpg 360w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/avengerscampus-webbuilding-night-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/avengerscampus-webbuilding-night.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upgraded_Technology_to_Create_a_Metaverse\"><\/span>Upgraded Technology to Create a Metaverse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>During the interview, D\u2019Amaro also referenced the idea of a \u201cmetaverse\u201d being created within Disney theme parks. What that means is that there will be a whole digital experience on top of the physical park structures and attractions. D\u2019Amaro elaborated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt provides us with unending opportunities at these theme parks. It can bring Main Street alive in ways that you\u2019ve never seen it before, never thought about it before. You can have the whole theme park participate in a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> that culminates in a celebration at the hub at the top of Main Street. The possibilities are endless and I think that\u2019s where we\u2019re incredibly unique at the Disney company. This combination of a very forward-looking digital footprint with our legacy assets that we have in place, and making them incredibly relevant today.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This sounds like an idea that\u2019s still early in development and execution, though there are aspects of this kind of technology that have already appeared in Star Wars: Galaxy\u2019s Edge and will start to manifest themselves even more in Avengers Campus. Through the Disney Parks app on your phone, there will be virtual games and puzzles that allow you to interact with the physical park in unique ways. Currently in Galaxy\u2019s Edge you can use your phone to access the Star Wars Datapad to hack into various pieces of tech, translate alien languages, or play minigames that give you digital rewards. But Disney Parks hopes to expand that with more exciting and immersive technological advances in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-346445 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/path-of-a-lightsaber-700x300.png\" alt=\"path of a lightsaber\" width=\"700\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/path-of-a-lightsaber.png 700w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/path-of-a-lightsaber-360x154.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Real_Working_Lightsaber\"><\/span>A Real Working Lightsaber?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_3 -->Ever since the lightsaber was introduced in <em>Star Wars<\/em> back in 1977, fans have wanted to see the elegant weapon for a civilized age become a reality in the modern world. Unfortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> doesn\u2019t exactly allow for a lightsaber to exist in the way that it does in the <em>Star Wars<\/em> universe. But Disney has apparently figured out a way to make one for park-goers that appears much like the real thing as possible without being a deadly weapon.<\/p>\n<p>You may remember that back in 2018, Disney filed a patent for a \u201cSword Device with Retractable, Internally Illuminated Blade.\u201d It wasn\u2019t referred to as a lightsaber, but we know a lightsaber when we see it. This build of a lightsaber replica finally allowed for a blade of light to completely expand and retract from the hilt without a hunk of plastic sticking out of it all the time. The new device was described thusly:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The new technology exemplified in this patent application is used to build a lightsaber hilt that works like a motorized tape measure. At the press of a button, the tapes will extend to a total length several times that of the hilt itself. The tapes will also have some kind of LED lighting inside, such that the lightsaber can light up similar to the way they appear in the films.<\/p>\n<p>The same mechanics that operate to eject the blade will be used in reverse to retract the blade. The LEDs will be affixed to a tape that retracts onto a spool as the lightsaber blade retracts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>At a \u201cSpecial Look Inside Disney Parks\u201d press conference (via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/disney-star-wars-working-lightsaber\/\">Collider<\/a>), D\u2019Amaro was said to have pulled out the new lightsaber in question and simply said, \u201cIt\u2019s real.\u201d Though he didn\u2019t show off the technology, it\u2019s expected that it will be revealed as part of the upcoming Star Wars hotel at Walt Disney World in Florida. Inside the resort, there\u2019s supposed to be an area where young Jedis can begin their training in their hotel rooms, which will likely include this lightsaber. Will it be made for sale to fans, or only made as part of the Star Wars hotel experience? That remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Disney clearly has big plans for the future of their theme parks, and it will be interesting to see how technology will come into play. There\u2019s a part of me that doesn\u2019t like the integration of digital devices at theme parks since we spend so much time on our phones and tablets out in the real world. It would be nice to have a park experience that stands on its own and allows for an escape from all that nonsense. Of course, it will still be possible to enjoy the park in the old fashioned analog way, but as time goes on, technology integration will likely become a cornerstone of the theme park experience, so we better get used to it.<br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_4 --><\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            <!-- \/post -->\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
