Disney Imagineer Lanny Smoot Invents Revolutionary 'HoloTile Floor' for VR

The technology allows users to walk in place on an 'omnidirectional floor', potentially transforming virtual reality experiences.

Disney Imagineer Lanny Smoot, already known for his work on the realistic lightsaber, has invented a new technology called the 'HoloTile floor'.
The HoloTile floor is an 'omnidirectional floor' that adjusts and rotates as you walk on it, allowing users to walk in place without moving from the spot.
Multiple people can use the HoloTile floor at the same time, each walking independently in different directions.
The technology could revolutionize virtual reality experiences, allowing users to physically walk through virtual worlds without risk of collision in the real world.
Smoot, who has over 100 patents to his name, has been inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, the second Disney inventor to receive this honor after Walt Disney himself.
