World’s largest LED screen transforms the Las Vegas skyline
Summary
Custom cameras take cues from this formula to capture ultra-wide imagery that fits seamlessly onto Sphere’s curved LED screen – while mirroring the science of how the human eye sees the real world around it. Using the hidden math of the Shannon Hartley Theorem, Sphere was able to create an ultra-fast wireless environment so that 10,000 people can interact with the screen simultaneously from any seat. Behind the LED media plane, there are 168,000 speakers that use this math to create realistic, 360 audio environments leveraging a new sonic technology known as ‘wave field synthesis.’ The Wave Equation is used to program and control Sphere’s infrasound seating and audio systems – enabling it to simulate a range of ultra-sensory effects, from the swell of the tide to a total shift in gravity. The show started with a welcome – ‘Hello World’ – and was followed by fireworks and stars and stripes animations, before transitioning through a wide array of visual content, from vibrant underwater scenes to performances to vividly-textured lunar surfaces. Guy Barnett, SVP Brand Strategy and Creative Development, said: “The Exosphere is more than a screen or a billboard – it is living architecture, and unlike anything that exists anywhere in the world.
