Correction: The name of Big Sky Architect Deanan DaSilva was missing an "a" in his first name & Alex Luthwaite's title should read "SVP" instead of "VP." Apologies for the typos! Thanks for watching, hope you all enjoyed getting this BTS look into the Sphere as much as I did.

I work at the Sphere. It's an amazing venue with a brilliant group of people making magic happen. I love it there.

[@Poopmyjorts]

Tell me about the robots

[@intothebeyond8763]

That camera is a amazing . Looks like RED and ARRI got some work to do.

[@saxmanphd]

Chris Nolan should try the camera

[@Showtime-ry3pw]

Recently I went there and seen Postcard from Earth. Everything mentioned in this video does not do it justice. It is truly amazing, between the audio and visual, an experience that everyone should have. Highly recommend 12 out 10. (I know the math doesn't come out right but that's how I felt about it.)

[@stevedeann]

I also saw PFE in November. You're right on with your description. I can't afford to see U2 but I was still able to experience everything The Sphere has to offer.

[@ryandury]

Will be here for Dead & Company in June. Stoked!

[@juliano.7894]

These robots are so creepy! Imagine cleaning this place at night with these robots around you

[@josephpiskac2781]

Yes I live in Vegas I am afraid to park and have my vehicle attacked. So I actually live in the desert and spend as little time as possible in Vegas.

32tbe is WILD

3:41 You're surely right no small camera can capture every broadcast of this big screen. 5:51 It's hard to believe that such emersive scenery can be recreated for normal screens.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Immersive. NOT emersive.

[@therealcyber5]

Most XLNT look inside!

[@dmitriytechmix1665]

Definitely ❤

[@Applied_Mathemagics]

How expensive is it to watch a movie inside?

[@alex3261]

I am waiting to see a robot cat, that can beas smart, as agile and as autonomous as a cat.

[@markwhite2207]

Can this be seen from space? I wonder...

[@drag-ha]

So this is where Beyoncé is releasing the visuals AND doing her residency. A queen

[@Prince_Sidon]

Uh, This is more about the Sphere than Beyoncé.

[@raw086]

We’ll find out tonight!!!

I think the Apple Vision Pro would be the perfect headset for the videos filmed on this camera to be released on. And, in fact, if they could somehow film in 3D at the same time, that would be even better for the AVP.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

False. The FOV is garbage on the Apple Vision Pro.

[@joelface]

@@PSYCHOV3N0M I hear your point, but consider that the Apple Vision Pro's FOV is about 100-110. An IMAX screen is only about 60-80. From what I've read, the Vegas Sphere is around 145. So while you're right that it would require an AVP user to slightly turn their head from side to side to see the far edges of the screen, it would only be the very edges missed, and still a far larger view than an IMAX screen. The advantage of the Vision Pro for this video is the extremely high quality screens that would allow you to make out a lot of the fine detail in the scene that most other headsets couldn't showcase.

Im interested in the restrooms, the bathrooms, the toilets; I tend to judge a venue by how they accommodate their guests. Cleanliness, lighting, smell, tissue quality.....similar to a family members bathroom.....you can gain insight ....so, has anybody used the restroom at the Sphere?...
