Walt Disney: Survival of the Most Innovative This case study of Disney kicks off what I hope becomes a regular series on business innovation that I'm calling "Survival of the Most Innovative." (an obvious reference to the Darwinian concept of the "Survival of the Fittest") Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal (free feature) described the launch of a brand new innovation strategy at Disney: "Ever since Walt Disney opened Disneyland in 1955, Walt Disney Co. has rarely strayed from his original vision of what a theme parkshould be. But at a top-secret development unit these days, the companyis plotting a new spurt of theme park expansion that goes well beyondits traditional model of luring people to Disney resorts in Florida orCalifornia. Disney is hatching plans to take its theme-park experience to the masses, rather than the other way around.

Mixed Reality Brings New Life to K–12 Classrooms Among the emerging technologies hitting the K–12 sphere, virtual, augmented and mixed reality tools have garnered a lot of interest. Mixed reality has remarkable potential for the K–12 classroom. Here is a tool that lets students explore the molten core of our planet or get deep in the anatomy of a frog without ever picking up a scalpel — all with the click of a button.

Now with the right hardware (you’ll need something pretty pokey), you can buy a HTC Vive or an Oculus Rift and really get into virtual reality and do some great things.
