The Disney Years
In 1998, Robert Swirsky started working for Walt Disney Imagineering R&D as Director, Creative technology, under Bran Ferren, developing electronic games and digital imaging systems. He developed technology to play interactive games synchronized with live television shows, and electronic toys including Disney's Magical Moments Pin. Digital Photography projects included systems to synchronize picture taking with ride vehicles, and active infrared badges to identify picture-takers.
Mr. Swirsky was a major technical contributor to ABC's Enhanced TV, an Emmy Award winning technology that allows television viewers to play along with game shows, sporting events, and answer live polls during talk shows.
Swirsky's interactive media research also involved working with nerdcore rapper Monzy, then an intern at Walt Disney Imagineering, on a variety of cutting edge display technologies, including the display of digital data on a spherical surface.
Mr. Swirsky continues to work as a consultant for the themed entertainment industry, for Disney and other amusement enterprises.
