Disney new patent has the ability to start tracking Magic Kingdom visitors by their shoes.
I recently visited Disney world a few months ago and by the look at the wait times for each and every ride, Disney has millions of people visiting their theme parks every year.
Currently, the parks offer a wearable wristband called the MagicBand, which allows for visitors to skip the lines on many rides and access photos automatically taken by many of the attractions. It also allows the company to collect data about their guests, which is useful for marketing and future park attractions.
However, that service is currently optional, which means that many guests are currently walking around the park without being tracked. And Disney plans on expanding their data collection services by reportedly implementing a new service.
According to Gizmodo, Disney is going to start tracking you by taking photos of your feet. From Gizmodo:
Upon entering the park, through the main gates, an image of a visitor’s shoe is automatically snapped and stored alongside with basic demographic information. The patent also describes a robot that would roam the park and secretly snap photos of random guest’s feet to help collect additional data about how visitors are moving about the park.
There is no official word if or when this system is going to be installed. But, it’s pretty exciting news for someone who has a foot fetish.
