Basing from the description, it seems that Disney is incorporating both tangible props and virtual reality technology to make the attraction work.
It opened at Disney California Adventure in late May and has become one of the go-to features in the amusement park.
At this point, the patent application can either be denied or approved which means that this concept mechanism could soon be fleshed out in Disney theme parks.
The Guardians of the Galaxy has also recently unveiled their own Disney attraction called the Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout! ride.
