Concurrent to conceptualising the park (for which Walt Disney Interactive R&D is involved as well), the REMAP team has been busy testing and setting up CISCO-sponsored wireless access points in the studio, and in Melnitz Hall, which houses the School of Theater, Film and Television, and which is also where REMAP is centred.
The set-up will then be implemented at the site of the LA State Historic Park, on the very large scale (32 hectares!). Once this set-up is complete, the entire park itself will be a connected Wi-fi hotspot, and in itself a WAN (Wide-area Network) which allows for user-tagging and other possibilities associated with GPSes (Global/Geographic Positioning Systems) and GISes (Geographic Information Systems), albeit at a smaller scale than a GPS. A server could then be placed at REMAP, UCLA as a "control station" for the network in the park.
The concept design of the park would, therefore, ideally make the most out of this infrastructure.
