Example of "2.5 D" using parallax effects...

Okay that's amazing.

This is better than mission breakout.

If this is indeed the technology being used... holy cow... this ride may be a game changer.

Though, I still mourn GMR until the end of time.

The new slightly modified (and renamed) attraction will be located in the Star Tours facility and will feature an exciting "4-D" romp on "Mickey's Groovy Grocery Cart," ending by spilling passengers directly into the middle of the gift shop.*

*This information may not be entirely accurate...

Wait... the revised plans for MGGC will have the guests spilling into a gift shop at the end? What a wasted opportunity. Clearly it should spill them into the middle of a grocery store. Marc Davis would have never made this rookie mistake!

What does Mission Breakout have to do with any of this?

Both cgi, both parallax. The perspective on the rendered graphics match the perspective of the camera in this case, as they are meant to align with guests' eyes on mission breakout. That's why the elevator bounces, to make the screens feel more dimensional. Same illusion being deployed. (Sure m:b has an elevator and a story and the parallax in this video is more complex because they programmed those robots...) This is just subjectively way better even though I'm staring at it on youtube. If there was an aesthetic narrative absent experience like this at disneyland, on a thrill ride, it would be a transcendent hypnotic groundbreaking experience.

Agreed. Now that I’ve seen what a parallax effect really is, Can we even call what GOTG does a parallax effect? So if I watch tv at home and jump up and down, that’s a parallax effect?

This effect needs to be used on the next imagination ride. Heck, it could even redeem the imagination institute idea, if disney decides to keep it.

 

[TROR]

It looks great on a professionally filmed video where everything you see is controlled and can be edited in post. How will it look in person? That's another thing all together. It's a neat effect if it can work that smoothly, but I don't know if that'll be the case.

This effect can only be done from a narrow view angle. In the video, the guy who's 'flipping' the panels doesn't see the 3D effect as well as he would as if he was where the camera was. So, only an individual car's worth of people can take in this effect. For an LPS like MMRR, the cars can split off and face their own scene with a perfect view angle for the effect. For an omnimover, not so much since people will be seeing the effect from a lot of different angles at once, which makes using this for Imagination also means giving up the omnimover.

Next time you're at DAK, watch the Tree of Life Awakenings from the back and from an angle rather than head on. Head on, it looks 3D. But, from the back, you can see the projections from far to the left and to the right and the projections look way off.

If that is true, maybe a horizon's type vehicle would work best for this kind of effect? Didn't that vehicle face forward only? Sorry if I am wrong, never been on it.

The New Imagination is not an omnimover. It’s a train car that starts and stops along the rail. The cars turn to face the screens.

It's a hybrid for sure, but, it still stretches out the viewing angle limiting what can be done with parallax 3D.

I hope they use this type of technology for a future new version of Journey Into Imagination and a new and better version of Imageworks.

It's the same ride system it's always been, bit more versatile than an onmimover (but not as reliable). It's actually on a roller coaster track.

You’re not telling the right person. I already know.

Here’s your answer.

I'm adding to the thread by replying to the latest post, drop the attitude dude.

Is MMRR still in the plans for DLR? and are we still looking at Roger as a potential location? Any updates on this?

Does @GiveMeTheMusic have any news updates for us?
