Disney Research has recently applied for a patent for an Infrared Imaging Projection, and according to the patent application, there are several uses for the technology.

If you've ever wanted to send someone a secret message simply by touching their ear, Disney Research has come up with a way to do just that.

This new invention - called the Isihin-Denshin - takes the sounds that are spoken into a microphone and transforms it into a low current inaudible signal that is then sent back into the speaker's body. And this is where it gets really sci-fi - when the person who spoke into the microphone touches another person's ear that inaudible signal vibrates in the person's earlobe, recreating sound.

Today we're going to visit Mexico, which is one of the more unique pavilions in World Showcase.
