  What is Disney's interest in this type of technology?

    Disney has always done a lot of work in animatronics for their movie special effects as well as park attractions. Being a current or former imagineer is quite a badge of honor in many circles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney_Imagineering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney_Imagineering

    Disney has a whole R&D division to develop theme park attractions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney_Imagineering http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney_Imagineering Alan Kay and Danny Hillis both used to work at Walt Disney Imagineering

    This was done by Disney Research http://www.disneyresearch.com/ http://www.disneyresearch.com/ . A lot of their work relates to robotics and display technology, as well as user input. I suppose the idea is that this kind of thing could be ultimately used for entertainment robots and exhibits like they have in the theme parks, or possibly movie special effects.

  That was truly bizarre. Why would you use this device to make sure someone used the correct method of eating food?
