Recently, a group of Disney researchers have made new breakthroughs in 3D printing. They use highly transparent plastics that can achieve the same effect as plexiglass, printing LCD screens and sensors at low cost.
The chess game above is one of their achievements. Using the light guides, the chess piece can detect the current position and display it. Compared to the colorful displays we see in our daily lives, this monochrome screen does seem to be insignificant. But at the same time, we should pay attention to the fact that 3D printing technology is cheap and its manufacturing process is simple. This is only the first step. If it is reduced to zero, one day we will be able to print out complex products, and even print out a Disneyland is not impossible.
In addition to display screens, Disney also manufactured a variety of sensors using 3D printing technology. These sensors can detect touch, vibration, and other stimuli through infrared light and output the results. As for what you can do with 3D printing, please see the following video for details:
