Things are happening in Orlando!
Set to open some time in 2010, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter is a “new themed environment … comparable in size to other islands within Universal’s Islands of Adventure … a fully immersive experience that will draw from all of the books and movies.” See artists’ mockups at the picture gallery in the link below.
Also, Organic Motion has expanded to Orlando:
The Manhattan high-tech company, a developer of advanced computer-vision systems, was drawn to Central Florida by the potential for business opportunities within the region’s defense-training, entertainment and medical simulation industries
… The company has been recognized within the industry for creating the world’s first wireless motion-capture system for video-game development … Organic Motion’s system eliminates the need for the sensors and bodysuits. Experts say that slashes the costs and opens the way to a whole new generation of computer simulations — not just for video games, but for military training, education and a variety of other applications.
