Today I’ve been invited behind the scenes at Walt Disney Imagineering, the place where Disney brings their craziest ideas to life – from STUNT ROBOTS to a real life version of The Force, to adorable little droids! On this show Huge If True, we explore how tech can improve people’s lives – by living longer, going farther, doing more. But the reason I’ve loved Disney since I was a kid is they use tech to improve lives another way… by making people happy. And that means they end up pushing forward tech in some crazy, unexpected ways. So let me take you inside the magic, to show you the cutting edge tech they’re building… how it works… and what happens when we put it to the test!
