Disney Files Patent for Technology That Will be Used in a Captain America Virtual Shield Throwing Experience

Disney Files Patent for Technology That Will be Used in a Captain America Virtual Shield Throwing Experience

Disney filed a patent on technology that simulates throwing and catching Captain America’s shield. The new technology will be part of a new virtual reality experience.

 

The patent designs show how users would fasten some type of motion sensor to their forearm with a physical shield on a short rail. The shield would slide on the rail when the user makes a throwing motion. However, the physical shield would never leave the arm piece, sensors would simulate a virtual shield, which would travel based on how it is thrown.

Although the designs in the application show Captain America’s shield, the application indicates the technology could be applied to any situation involving throwing a simulated projectile.

Guests will be aiming for targets in simulated battle scenarios and the shield would have a “boomerang effect” as it does in the comics and movies. It is expected to have various levels of difficulty making some targets harder to hit.

Disney has been developing Marvel attractions for its California Adventure theme park. It’s newest attraction Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! opened last month.
