As Disney explores the potential use of technologies such as artificial intelligence and mixed reality across its film, television and theme park divisions, the company is establishing a new business unit to oversee those efforts, as TheWrap exclusively reported was in the works last week
The launch of the unit, dubbed the Office of Technology Enablement, will help transform Disney’s creative output, with a focus on post-production and visual effects, as well as non-customer-facing areas of parks and experiences, individuals with knowledge of the matter previously told TheWrap.
OTE, which will be led by Walt Disney Studios’ chief technology officer Jamie Voris, will have accountability across all business segments and partner closely with leaders across the company.
