He should be inducted into The National Treasure Hall of Fame.
He'd so be the grandpa whose house I'd never want to leave.
This man is responsible for bringing joy and wonder to millions around the world.
#peace with a Big-B; not the little 1🤣
I think we should have a movie about his legacy titled the Beautiful mind of an inventor.
This story makes my heart smile. "Get it out of your head and into the world!" Lanny Smoot. ❤
Another inventor we should have heard about, Respect!!
Im glad to see someone that looks like me creating awesome stuff.
The world is honoured to have fascinating minds like Lanny Smoot. Thank You God for such gifted people.
amen! 🙏🏾
Wow, beautifully said Sister.
HalleLuYah Halle Lu Yah look up Yah.
@@mjb6839Amen or Amun?
Mr Smoot is an amazing genius who clearly didn't allow his humble beginning to halt his dreams. He is very inspirational.
As an Indian teacher this is a story I am going to read to my children. This gentleman is the real deal! Here is an example of how the application of science and technology can lift an individual, family and whole country to a whole new level
Congratulations to our dear brother.
The most beautiful thing is how he credits his father, whose presence & engagement helped to spark his love for invention. For all you fathers out there that proof positive that your presence & engagement matters. Don't be a deadbeat.
💯 want I continually to the Blk community
Well-deserved induction, Mr. Smoot! 😃
This gentleman is pure genius. Wow.
Absolutely incredible! Well deserved Mr. SMOOT!!!
I love this. I have a kid who has this spark and he's a problem solver. He's been working at our local university electronics laboratory and doing a great deal of technical work. I'd love to see him able to work with his creative and fantasy side.
You should get together with your kid an pen an old fashioned letter to Larry.....this could give your child something to focus on.
@@TheSkyHive He'll be finishing his trade certificate this summer and is looking to find a job to apply it. He's been particularly interested in developing smart prosthetics.
@@TheAccidentalVikingwhat trade is he studying

Proud of you sir

Thank you Mr. Lanny Smoot to being the force behind creating magical "light saber" experience for millions of us! So happy you are celebrated among many other things like Omni floor. Congratulations sir on being in the Inventors' Hall of Fame!
I used to work in a Patent office and all I used say all day long was now why the hell dident I think of that.😅.Fair play to this Guy.
God bless you brother!
Get it out of your head into the world. I needed to hear that. I'm a writer. Thanks for the inspiration!
We are limitless if we treat the world and each other with respect.
Indeed, my friend. Indeed.
Wow! The floor is amazing!!!
I have to get offline.... This brought tears to my eyes and I don't know why. Respect to you Mr. Smoot 🙏🏾
THANK YOU MR. SMOOT FOR MAKING LIFE BETTER & YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO SOCIETY!!!!

Make a hospital bed with that technology so patients don't have to develop bed sores due to lazy or overworked health professionals.
I second that
Whoa.. you might into something here. 👍
@Victor_James68 Yeah, I got trillion dollar ideas, but I just can't help hating the concept of money, competition, and egotism.
If I'd been Akhenaten in a former life, that would explain my lack of desire for participating in this world with its current level of ignorance and fear.
Jack Fresco's Venus Project would be awesome, but only if there were no selfish characters involved seeking to stand out amongst everyone else as if they were the end-all, be-all of humankind.
Thank you. Mr. Smoot! Your induction is Greatly important, your Mind and Soul are Infinitely Valuable! 🙌🏾🙏🏾😇❣️❣️❣️
What an amazing human!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
THANK YOU❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a thrill life is for him every day again! Can't see him planning for retirement 😊
Love this story.❤
*Great inventors are the **_real-life_** wizards of childhood. Bless this man and his peers.*
👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 and never knew his story. I am now so glad and will share this story. Thank you
Well deserved! 🎉
Y.E.S .!! Saw this tis morning! 100 patents-AMAZING ❤❤
Dam my man said Brownsville Brooklyn he came a long way dam
I’m from Brownsville!!! This is so inspirational
The induction was overdue!! 🎉🎊🏆💐💐👏
That floor is awesome. I could also swing in that door all day.
Peace and blessings Elder 🙏🏽
I smiled the entire time I watched this video. Lanny Smoot is an amazing human being who God blessed with a brilliant mind, wonderful parents, and a dream career.
Congratulations Mr. Smoot.
A Great guy! Open the world.
I want that Floor. Congratulations sir.
I love this man. He give me hope in the world.
So inspiring I know that the good people in this world don’t get a lot of recognition, but good is out there
Salute to this man and his colleague. They embody what Disney should be not what it Is now.
Fantastic and well deserved.
Congratulations, Mr. Smoot.
Cool name, too!
Very inspiring, Mr. Smoot!
Well done Mr Smoot!
As I reside in Idaho, it was rewarding to see Philo T Farnsworth name on the wall!
I think every VR headset needs that floor, I couldn't go without it.
A Black Man...let that sink in! Thanks CBS! The light saber...Star Wars.
Black excellence at its finest!!
Let be normal not a surprise that a black man has a good job and is successful
You just blew every nerds mind.
As a black man and a Star Wars fan I had no ideal that this black genius was behind the light saber. Amazing but not surprised because their are many inventions done by black people that are hidden. By the way the Jedi were real people in history who had the " force" of the Jedidiah bloodline in the bible but they were also called prophets. Makes sense didn't Moses have the force. Didn't Jesus have the force. They all were black as well.
Lol 🤣😂🤣
What an Amazing man and story. Thank you Mr. Smoot and to you all that aired this piece.
We give thanks.
Lanny Smoot, for some reason, is describing the Disney magic that I haven't seen in a long time.
❤ stories like this!
An American hero! Congratulations Sir on your achievements and thank you for all your contributions to humanity.🎉🙏🏾❤️
Black hero.
Just incredible! What a fantastic story.
I need to leave this man my notebooks.
A must for all school children from US and all over the world to visit. Let them see that all people, white black or brown, are so smart - not just the white Europeans.
This is why some politicians want to ban books and certain information from children. Greatness comes in all colors.
They love to keep our talents hidden, but I'm glad someone recognized him for the world to know
Imhotep would be proud.
Such a Genius
Very inspirational
Inspiring! How do you stay inspired to invent something in a world where innovation comes at such a rapid rate, and with such inspiring persistent people like Lanny?
Brilliance at it's finest.
A vision is just a vision if it's only in your head. - Barbara Streisand
Forwarded this to my kids. Good inspiration for them on several levels.
Inspiring, Mr. Smoot ❤‼️
Lanny Smoot🌹Bravo
Bravo for him and us.
Great!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What's not to like..such a excellent quote...get it out of your head and bring it into the world !!!!
Here's an interesting piece of trivia: the Mass Ave. bridge that connects the Back Bay of Boston to MIT is measured in Smoots. According to legend, someone named Smoot was laid end to end on the bridge, making him a unit of measure. Wonder if that Smoot is related to Lanny Smoot. Hmm...
No that dude is white, Oliver Smoot
Congratulations!
FASCINATING 👍👏👏👏👏🙏🙋
That was awesome. Why can't there be more of this be shared?
this shows if one has drive and inspiration, anyone can make it.
Why don't we learn about these people until their old and probably about to retire or have died?
Well deserved!
what a great story and great person. well done!
Awesomeness!!
Oh wow that's impressive
I love this
🥇👍🙂💯🙏Think of all the greatness that was held back. 💔😢🙏
Imagine him on myth busters
Ohhh, Farnsworth, nice touch, camera guy.
For sure!
Thank you for such a wonderful cover story on this great inventor
That floor seems awesome! Maybe a lawsuit waiting to happen, but it has real possibilities.
Most people that innovate will never get recognition or even a patent.
Now that’s dope !!! 👊🏼💙
Congratulations from one black Inventor to another 👏 🙌 ❤️
This is the sort of person you can't leave alone in your house, because he'll take three things apart to build something else, and leave you with parts of your washer, toaster and backyard swing lying in the living room.
Team USA Maximum patents
Inspiring
I just saw this on mbk channel i didnt know that he made it and the light saber its amazing and that his is african American that touched me
Awesome
Bravo
All that great stuff and you still need to wear a name badge with you name on it 😂
So cool 😎...
