Summary
Disney Imagineers are using augmented reality headsets to sculpt attraction environments, with the workflow already in use for Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge ahead of its July 1, 2027 opening.
3D projections laid directly onto real surfaces let crews see the finished design in place and execute against it, replacing reliance on 2D reference images.
Months of work can be cut because adjustments are made inside the device, helping teams hit the intended design correctly on the first pass.
Walt Disney Imagineering says it is also testing the technology for other projects, including nighttime shows, animatronics and additional attraction work.
