Smoot, which has more than 100 patented inventions, including the retractable lightsaber for Star Wars, developed the HoloTile floor with the goal of improving people’s interaction with VR. “It automatically does whatever it takes to keep me on the ground,” he explained, “and it can accommodate multiple people, all walking independently.”
The HoloTile floor consists of rotating tiles that seamlessly adapt to the user’s movements, providing a stable and realistic VR experience.
Smoot envisions HoloTile flooring being used in Disney parks to create immersive experiences that allow guests to explore different worlds and interact with characters in ways not possible before. He also sees potential applications in theater productions, where dancers could perform complex movements while seamlessly transitioning from one setting to another.
HoloTile flooring is still in the early stages of development.
