A while ago I talked about a company that’s attempting to build the world’s first Holodeck that’s backed by none other than the Rodenberry Foundation which in turn is led by the son of Gene Roddenberry who invented the Star Trek concept in the first place, so naturally the fact that Disney have in essence created their own version of the “Holodeck” caught my eye.

In this video, Garrett Clark will take you from Walt Disney World Resort to Disneyland Resort, all within one room so sit back and enjoy the experience!
