While I'm not a fan of patents in general, it's more about how you manage your IP that matters. And honestly, this videos feels like they show it off because they have to, but have so many restrictions to do so that they must weight every single word. It doesn't look like they want us to have fun with it. It looks like it's something they hope to sell us. If I enter a restaurant, I know they want to sell me food, but I want to think about the food, not the bill. And I appreciate a passionate chef.

They won't sell very many of them if people are not having fun with it. That's such a twisted bit of logic on your part. They don't have an actual retail type product, so it's just a tech demo for now. But it's Disney, so once there is a reatail product, you think their PR department will be showing people not having fun with it?

  See the other comment about older tech videos by Disney. You'll see they used to know how to make you feel excited and happy about it.

> It doesn't look like they want us to have fun with it. It looks like it's something they hope to sell us. Well, yeah; they (Disney Research) are a tech company, not a product company, and this is — essentially — a B2B presentation for those big partner companies of theirs who might want to license this technology. They're not talking to consumers; they're talking to businesses who could build this thing into a product of theirs that is then sold to consumers. When this is in an actual product, they won't be talking about the tech of it at all. Disney Imagineering (the department that builds Disney's theme park rides) tries to make the tech as invisible to the experience as possible. A PR piece about a new Disney ride that used this system, likely wouldn't even mention the floor. It'd just mention that they have "high-fidelity VR immersion" or something like that — and would let guests explain what that entails in their reviews of it.

Do you also buy phones with this mantra? Or anything for that matter? Because this is just a bit of electronics, nothing more. Sometimes I just want to buy half a kilo of butter, and not caring much about the craftsmanship of Swiss diary producers and whole chain of experts and distributors and their skills and tricks a bit.
