The StudioLab initiative is focused on using cutting-edge technologies to reimagine, design, and prototype the entertainment and production capabilities of the future. The Walt Disney Studios produces feature films from Disney, including Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, Marvel Studios, and Lucasfilm. It also brings music and stage plays to consumers via The Disney Music Group and Disney Theatrical Group. New tech is relevant to all of those Disney groups.
StudioLab will be housed in a 3,500 square foot facility in Burbank. It will feature Cisco hardware, software, and services spanning network, storage, orchestration, and collaboration. Initial areas of focus include enhancing the remote collaboration experience for creative people and providing more seamless and secure connectivity for filmmakers, the studio, and third parties.
