Alongside announcing that Lanny Smoot will be the first Disney employee besides Walt to be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, Disney also shared one of his newest projects called the HoloTile floor, which just may be a game changer for VR and could bring us ever closer to experiencing the Holodeck from Star Trek.

This technology looks legitimately impressive.

Here’s a video of it working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3Sh6mu4zbs&t=1

I’ve seen another video where the guy stops moving on it and you can immediately see the problem this and any other tech like this has: momentum. It just can’t stop/start fast enough.

It’s only a first version. I’m sure with time, it’ll get even better.
