Showing the future at the Disneyland Dream Home
How do you show what's possible in the future? You could always write a report or create a PowerPoint. I'm a big believer in making the future seem real ... How? By putting the users into the future today by creating an immersive experience. Let them see, touch, smell, taste the future today.
A few weeks back, I was part of officially opening the Disneyland Innoventions Dream Home. This is a 5,000 square foot house inside Disneyland's Tomorrowland that gives you the experience of a complete digital lifestyle. The home uses technology available today plus some that are coming in the near future.
This is a unique attraction for Disney as its designed to allow the guests to truly interact with the home. You can set on the couch and watch a video, you can walk to the wall and turn on and off the lights ... you can immerse yourself so that you get the full experience of what it would be like to live in this house.
