A critic reviews the immersive adaptation of 'The Wizard of Oz' at Sphere in Las Vegas, highlighting its innovative use of a massive dome and IMAX screen that challenge traditional viewing experiences and raise questions about the future of cinema.
The massive Las Vegas Sphere, featuring the largest LED screen, utilizes 4PB of flash memory at 400 GB/s to deliver 16K resolution content both internally and externally. A joint project between Sphere Entertainment and Hitachi Vantara, the Sphere's high-res visuals are powered by 27 nodes streaming at 4K through Hitachi Vantara's software, with plans to optimize existing content and use an 18K-capable camera. The internal footage promises highly immersive cinema experiences, with content "wrapping" around viewers for an ultrawide multi-monitor-like effect.
