You heard right, Disney is teaming up with the creators of ‘Fortnite’ to bring us something we’ve never seen from the company before!
In Disney’s Q1 Earnings Call for 2024, Bob Iger mentioned several new concepts and ideas in store for The Walt Disney Company. One of those that was quick to grab our interest was the idea of Disney collaborating with Epic Games. [Read more…]
We’ve seen The Walt Disney Company go through the wringer lately.
After Bob Iger returned as CEO, more executive shakeups followed, and we learned that Disney would be making $5.5 billion in spending cuts — including reducing its workforce by 7,000 jobs. And now, with a Thanos-like snap of the fingers, an entire department and program have been eliminated.
Disney is considered a front-runner when it comes to cutting-edge technology.
We have seen some of Disney’s most advanced technology in the parks including at Rise of the Resistance and in Avengers Campus where there is a flying Spider-Man animatronic. But Disney has been talking about things beyond theme parks including NFTs and the metaverse, and now we’ve got a major update on the future of the metaverse at Disney.
LOOK OUT. 🚨 THE DRONES ARE COMING! 🚨
The Walt Disney Company is known for its entertainment across its parks, streaming, film, and more. Part of the way Disney stays so dominant in these industries is through constant innovation, keeping itself on the cutting edge of technologies. We see all kinds of technologies utilized in the theme parks regularly (Shaman animatronic, we’re looking at you!), but we’re set to see WAY more mind-blowing innovations in the years to come.
Blending the physical and digital worlds in one environment is what the metaverse is all about, and it seems Disney is ALL about the metaverse these days.
We’ve talked in the past about what a Disney theme park metaverse is and why you should care, Disney CEO Bob Chapek’s comments on the metaverse, and the new executive appointed to oversee Disney’s metaverse. But now we’ve got ANOTHER metaverse update to share!
Lots of changes are coming to the Disney parks, but it seems like the Walt Disney Company is planning even MORE changes outside the theme parks. One of the biggest innovations that Disney has shown a lot of interest in is the concept of a Metaverse and further exploration of Virtual Reality. Now, we’ve got a new look at how Disney is planning to put these emerging technologies to use.
Disney just teamed up with T-Mobile in order to bring to life some of their ideas for radical, new storytelling. Learn more about this partnership and how it could change the way you experience Disney’s stories here. [Read more…]
We may not always understand it, but it’s pretty interesting to learn about new technology — especially in Disney World! In the Walt Disney Company, we’ve noticed a shift in focus to a more digital, technology-centric future, but Disney isn’t the only company interested in progress.
You may remember that former Disney CEO Bob Iger recently left the Walt Disney Company, but his retirement didn’t last long. Recently, Iger shared an announcement that he is back in business — the Metaverse Business, to be exact!
Disney loves to use new technology in its parks, movies, and more.
Over the years, we’ve seen things like trackless ride systems and stunning animatronics, and there is even more new and exciting technology on the horizon. Disney is known for trying to advance how they tell stories and create experiences, and soon they will be taking it to a whole new level with the metaverse. And now, the company has put someone in charge of its metaverse!
