IO9 demonstrated the latest popcorn weapon contest in popcorn buckets on site, which started at Disney theme parks before becoming the hottest movie theater souvenir. And AMC Theatre dune Sandworm popcorn buckets seem to be a peak for external and grilled snack vehicles, Disney upgraded with robots. Check out the moving and blinking buckets you can dig out when you start a fun conversation with simple “Hey Mickey?”.
Of course, it’s pre-programmed with a few phrases, but the real enjoyment is moving heads and blinking eyes. It’s shocking, a little creepy, but at least in a cute way. There is no doubt that when you ask magical questions, the interactive setup responds to your voice, and there are certainly some tangles that can be solved. I literally screamed, it ignored me, but could somehow hear the voice of its actor friend. Maybe I need to be perceived by the robot Mickey Mouse in one or two octaves of voices imitated by my best Gaston.
