Disney finally nails free-roaming wireless power delivery
- pbw 10y agoJust wondering how would Disney benefit from this type of basic hardware research?
- nrb 10y agoAt the absolute minimum, I'm sure Walt Disney Imagineering would love to find creative uses for this in their theme parks.
- sand500 10y agoMaybe you can make the coil for a phone cheap enough you can just give guests a wireless phone charger they can just stick to their phone and charge it while they walk around the park.
- mesozoic 10y agoDisney Parks visits are made considerably better using a smartphone to schedule things. They could give something like this out to all visitors.
- hbcondo714 10y agoInteresting Disney took on wireless charging on their own. Apple supposedly partnered with a 3rd party[1] to bring wireless charging to future iPhones. Of course the scale is different but concept is the same but Disney's approach requires the room to be 'purpose-built'.
