Putting the magic into intelligent automation
In the summer of 1955, Disneyland opened with a copious amount of automatronic characters. The bleeding-edge of technology at the time, these characters interacted with carbon-based life forms to create a whole new world of entertainment. These characters were most notable in the “It’s A Small World” ride.
Fast-forward nearly 65 years to 1:55pm on March 13th in Orlando (the home of Disney World) where Dan Barton from Disney Financial System will provide the latest on Disney Automation.
