BETAMOUSE #74 – Disney Wi-Fi Research

This week we look at a set of papers from Disney Research on the subject of Wi-Fi in a theme park-like environment.

Specifically, a bunch of papers: “Towards Carrier-Grade 802.11 at Disney Theme Parks” and “Carrier-Grade 802.11 Operating in Paired Spectrum” published in 2010 by Roberto Aiello, an Entrepreneur in Residence at the Walt Disney Company and Stefan Mangold, a Senior Research Scientist at Disney Research. Another one is “Evaluation of Dual Transceiver Approaches for Scalable WLAN Communications” by Stefan Mangold from Disney Research in collaboration with Dublin City University.

We’re hardly scholars, but we try to decipher this stuff the best we can.

BETAMOUSE #73 – Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom

This week we talk about Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, a rumored interactive experience coming to the Magic Kingdom. This rumor comes our way via Jeff Kober, a Staff Writer over at MousePlanet.com. Check out his April 1st (but no fooling) article, as well as this more recent article where he fleshed out the developments. As Disney hasn’t announced anything, please take it all with a grain of salt. But we thought it would be fun to pick through and it discuss its potential and predecessors a bit. Hope you enjoy!

We’re joined by E3 attendee Robbie Fenoglio, a 6-year veteran of the gaming industry and fanboy #1 of the Betamouse Nation, who was able to demo the game at the event.
