Sitting in the Sphere should make you feel like being part of the movie. The experience inside is next level, with a screen that spans across the entire ceiling, haptic seats, and a sound system that sends different audio tracks to each seat. The Sphere can even generate wind and scents.

But how does all of this actually work? Let's take a look behind the curtain of the Sphere and explore the different technologies.

  • In 1959 at the Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet built a miniature version of the interior of the sphere. All encompassing, a wrap around sphere, holding perhaps 50 viewers. They used film and a huge fisheye lens and projector. In no way comparable to the Sphere, but over 60 years ago! I remember the experience of "driving around" in a '59 Chevy, so I'm definitely making plans to see the Sphere.

    Great working with you guys on the video - well done😎

    I just spent a weekend seeing 'Dead & Company' at the Sphere. Amazing! The sound, the visuals...it all makes for an incredible experience. If there is a band you like that is playing there, you need to go see this!!! I've never experienced anything like it. Forget your laser light shows from the '70's and '80's, forget your IMAX, this theatre will blow you away!

    I watched Postcard from Earth. Definitely worth checking out the Sphere. The thunderstorm scene was incredible. Amazing sound and visuals that engulfed field of vision and they sent in a cold, wet breeze with that fresh storm scent. For the several seconds of that scene, you were cold and felt like you could smell the storm coming in. It was really beautiful.
  • I visited the Sphere back in February to see U2. Stunning venue, truly something else. The sound sounded strange but having been to a few "normal" concerts in "normal" auditoriums I understand it now. It is unbelievably clear, you can hear every note from every instrument. You don't get that with the usual concert speakers. The screen is just amazing, nearly too much. Glad I went, cost me a fortune coming from the EU but so happy we did it.

    First Egypt with the pyramids, then Saudi Arabia with the "Cube" and The Line, now the USA with the sphere. I can't wait for Japan to build The Tesseract or The Hexeract
  • I've been at Dead and Co last 2 nights and upcoming tonight. It is a spectacular experience, so immersive. You move with the visuals! 1st night I was in 300 section and when the drums happened I felt it! Last night was on floor and I think that is where I felt most immersive experience... tonight in 100 section...can't wait!

    I live right across the Wynn Golf Course looking directly at the Sphere. Light pollution? No way. We love being able to look at the ecosphere productions which are continual and ever changing. This project has become a welcome addition to our neighborhood.

    Saw U2 at the Sphere. Absolutely incredible. Game changer. This is something different. The visuals were incredible but the audio is what blew me away. It was like being in a listening room. There was no reverberation at all. Just pure, crisp sound. Well worth the price of admission. I’ll be back for more shows.
  • @Vayee
    As non-American. All I heard about the Sphere is how cool the screen outside the sphere is.. I've never heard someone talk about the actual tech inside or basically the inside area.. except for Aura.. I've watched few random shorts/vt showing Aura
  • @rmar127
    If audio can be tailored to a specific seat, that’s some James Bond level stuff. I can picture a scene in an upcoming movie where an operative attends an event at the sphere, everyone else is listening to U2, whilst the operative is listening to classified information about an upcoming mission.
  • I've been there, and if they shoot a space walk, a $300 ticket will be absolutely worth it.
  • @geoffl838
    I saw two Dead & Company shows last week! Simply phenomenal in every aspect! Can't wait to go back for more.!
  • I was there opening night, and then again in February as well. Hands down the most intense visual and sonic concert experience I have ever had. I have experienced the future, and would recommend everyone else do so as well...
  • That little hand held led fan, was invented by a high school student at Whangarei High School, here in New Zealand. He had a working model using 6 leds..this was in 1990 at a school science fair.

    Seeing U2 in October '23 was absolutely mindblowing with the incredible graphics, sound and overall production. Beyond seeing the outside for free every day (night) for a week, from the Wynn, a chance to see U2 live in this venue was an unexpected opportunity. While on the floor only a few feet from Bono and the Edge was an experience in its own right, the lightshow was beyond words. I would highly recommend anyone visiting Vegas take in a show and marvel at the spectacle that is the Sphere ! Crank it up to 11 and feel the music in your soul.
  • Saw Phish all 4 nights, this video is accurate. It beyond exceeded my expectations, sound was 🤯 the best I’ve heard, visuals were insane, great venue !
  • @rfitzgerald2004
    This is incredible, I would love to see a behind the scenes tour to show some of the equipment and hardware that runs everything! I'm impressed with the insane quantities of everything such as the hundreds of thousands of lights, speakers and haptic seats that they manage to keep everything in sync and activating at the correct timings, the infrastructure would be an incredible feat to pull off
