Disney’s Still Curious About Holograms

It shouldn’t come as any surprise to anyone who has seen Disney movies such as ‘Ralph Breaks the Internet ¹’  or visited any of their theme parks that the corporation takes holograms – both physical and digital – very seriously. The love affair between Disney and holograms goes back more than 40 years and shows no sign of breaking up.

In his interview with Holography News® (HN April 2022), Chris Rich, CEO of WaveFront Technology Inc, attributed his fascination with holography to a holiday visit to a Disney theme park. ‘I was on vacation at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT centre in 1983 and saw a large-scale stereogram by Craig Newswanger (Advanced Dimensional Displays) and I knew right there I wanted to have a company involved in making holograms’.
