Pandora:World of Avatar to have interactive plants

Disney Imagineers really have been cooking up some amazing stuff for Pandora lately. The latest is their development of live pandorran plants that guests will be able to interact with!

In reality these plants are actually cyborgs that detect and respond to guest interaction. According to Technology.com a new patent granted to Disney discloses details of the technology behind these cyborg plants. The patent is titled User Interactive Living Organisms. The patent describes capacitive sensing to detect human interaction with living plants. The sensing system connects to the plant via an electrode. The sensing system utilizes the natural conductive paths (such as water-carrying veins) found in an organic plant to transmit an electrical signal to the plant. The sensing system gets activated when a user directly touches the plant or even comes near the plant. In response, an audio-video effect is played.
