The article reminds me of a pre Magic band time (I know Disney was well into the project by then) when someone talked of Cindy’s Castel having these folks watching guest, dispatching entertainment as lines grew in specific areas of the park.
The thing I do not get is that an APP in a cell phone can track someone fairly well, I think the privacy issue in this country is long gone (in the name of ‘free’). Store cards folks use to get discounts...it goes on and on. I would guess a place like Walmart picks up a library of Congress’s worth of data in a day.
Someone once told me some things about WD after MB’s came out...I was shocked at how little they knew or understood. The sad thing to me is that they ran out and had to build it themselves. To me, it also looked like they had missteps along the way...I recall them needing to change Fl law that requires policies on the back of ticket mediums....recording info on kids...
This sound like Comcast doing things it should know enough about (or willing to learn from). I would think some patterns, like an AP or an AP family having an APP on, I would think that would help skynet screen some faces faster.
I recall once wondering how Disney always seemed to be able to find a child that a parent took (from another...). The next time I was up there, I realized the cameras that read the license plates for every vehicle that enters the World.
Did you even read the article? It specifically talks about how the Magic bands don't track you all day.
And this is monumentally different than wearing a band that you have to choose to wear and activate. This is going to track you through the entire park and record everything you do. Even if you opt out, it's still going to record that random guest123438u734y went to the bathroom 4 times today.
Like I said, I personally don't care. If this leads to Spiderman sending me a free express pass for my next visit, sign me up.
