The Sphere in Las Vegas has emerged as an iconic attraction since its unveiling in 2023. Its striking exterior dominates the Nevada skyline, while the enormous interior screen creates an unparalleled setting for events and concerts. Since opening, the Sphere has hosted a variety of unique events that capitalize on its groundbreaking domed screen, which covers both the inside and outside of the structure.
One of the most anticipated upcoming projects is Google’s adaptation of ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ set to premiere this summer. Although specifics about the project remain under wraps, it is expected that attendees will experience a fully immersive journey into the classic tale upon entering the venue. The integration of AI technology is central to bringing ‘The Wizard of Oz’ to life.
Google’s Gemini plays a crucial role in ensuring that the original visuals from the film are preserved while also adapting them to fit the expansive display within the Sphere. This task is particularly daunting, as the original film has a vintage visual quality, specifically a four-by-three image from a 35mm film format, which requires careful handling to maintain the essence of the original work. Different teams have explored various creative directions, but it quickly became evident that CGI alone could not achieve the desired results.
As a result, the use of AI emerged as essential for the project’s success. With multiple challenges to navigate, the anticipation for ‘The Wizard of Oz at Sphere’ is building, marking it as a must-see event for visitors. However, attendees will need to wait, as the debut is scheduled for August 28, 2025.
Meanwhile, Android users can explore the capabilities of AI by engaging with Google Gemini to enhance their daily experiences.
