You can see one of these multiplane cameras on display at the Walt Disney Family Museum in the Presidio of San Francisco.

There is also a display of one in Orlando, I believe at Magic Kindgom.

It’s in Walt Disney Presents at Hollywood Studios. There is a bunch more Disney models and memorabilia inside as well. Feels like a hidden gem because it’s always pretty empty, plus there is even a character meet and greet with little wait.

Good stuff. Back in the day technical innovation and risk taking was an integral part of Disney... I miss those days. How far the house of mouse has fallen.

Disney still is highly innovative in the technology space. Perhaps you’re just not familiar with their work? https://www.disneyresearch.com/ https://youtube.com/@disneyresearchhub?si=6f1K4hWm6Tg6N18E

Sponsoring a paper or two a year at ETH Zurich is not really the same thing as technical innovation and risk taking being an integral part of their company's success.

I don't understand the distinction. Disney Research is inventing new filmmaking and robotics tech, in much the same way as is shown in the post. Why does collaborating with a university negate it.

It’s hard to take someone like you seriously when you look at that page and single out a set of the work, which requires you to ignore the papers that include or are mostly Disney researchers.

Wow! Incredibly fascinated to see 1957 tech make such fascinating animations! It’s so time consuming. Imagine the patience to take those pictures frame by frame

I hope some day someone will look back on me waiting for a GWS build and say something similar
