DM, you are feeding ktulu's ego ;) I can attest ktulu gave the Glow With The Show Ears back to child. The other child didn't take them off. The girls loved your gift. Was very thoughtful. :)DisneyMom wrote:They were made for you! Did you child ever get them back? :p:

Yes, they reside upstairs in the lair of the children. I dare not enter, for fear I will be lost, or worse, step on a Lego...Main Streeter wrote:DM, you are feeding ktulu's ego ;) I can attest ktulu gave the Glow With The Show Ears back to child.

Actually, the Lego would probably be mine.
And yes, the girls loved the ears. We are sad to learn in this video that they do stuff at Flo's. Now we have to go back...

Re: Glow with the Show ears explained
I doubt the ears broadcast anything. That would entail a second network, one of recievers, and they would need to be very close to the ears, as the transmission power draw would clobber battery life.drcorey wrote:even easier. one one of those videos, they said each pair of ears has it's own serial number. which I assume it broadcasts, since there is no way they can add them to the system as they sell them. so you add a scan feature to your controller. or you just aim it toward a unit and scan it's serial number. this would be fun on the dark rides too. a independent comtroller would drive disney nuts. after a few "embarassing" episodes they will prolly encript the ears signals.
course, no one ever hacked pal mickey either.
The signal coming down likely references specific groups of serial numbers in its instruction packets. it can group the SNs by many ways, such as odd/even, or any number of groupings, perhaps even by date of manufacture or sale. Even sale location if they keep track. For example: " see all those bright blue ears ? They were purchased at the glo cart near Little Mermaid. The ones glowing orange came from cars land" or "Lets see how many people in this crowd have had their glow ears since day 1, the ears flashing red were sold on the day of introduction!" the possibilities are endless, depending on how the data is managed.
I love the idea of using an independent controller, but on a dark ride, the ir cameras would reveal the source of the signal to the ride op immediately ! And it would be worse than having a serial camera flash offender in the boat with you!
Re: Glow with the Show ears explained
Worse then those people with the light sticks from the carts? course you are right. ir would prolly be picked up on darkrides. it's prolly used for other things too.delsdad wrote:I doubt the ears broadcast anything.

Re: Glow with the Show ears explained
I thought the same thing - except that the guy says the ear hats can interact with each other. That would indicate some transmit function, wouldn't it?delsdad wrote:I doubt the ears broadcast anything. ...

they have to be sending and receiving data. I bet the master computer can turn function off and on too.
