IBM, Walt Disney World's new Smarter Planet Exhibit using interactive kiosks

IBM has unveiled a new experiential exhibit at Innoventions at Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, inviting guests to discover the possibilities of building a smarter planet using computer demonstrations and interactive kiosks.

The Smarter Planet exhibit includes hands-on interactive kiosks offering guests a "match" game that reveals societal and technological implications of creating a smarter planet. Guests will discover how more than 2 billion people are using mobile phones to open and use bank accounts for the first time; or that only 11 percent of the U.S. money supply is cash; or that by unplugging household appliance while not in use homeowners can save cash, up to $286 every year; or how smarter food systems track the temperatures of foods from one location to another to prevent spoilage. From the same kiosks, guests can take a Smarter Planet poll and compare their answers with those of other visitors.
