Put down those goggles. The Las Vegas Sphere’s giant wraparound display turned a U2 show and a mind-bending new film into a virtual reality experience.
I am talking, of course, about last weekend’s U2 concert in the Sphere, the giant installation sitting just off the Las Vegas strip. It’s like something out of a Jordan Peele movie come to life. Or a modern Kafkaesque short story where a concert arena awakes one day and finds that it has transmogrified into a giant eyeball, which advertisers exploit to promote stuff like Direct TV’s NFL Sunday Ticket on its 580,000-square-foot skin.
Could you use Sphere-like projection for a feature film like Aronofsky’s Black Swan or Requiem for a Dream? “How you do that with a very strict narrative is open to interpretation by a future filmmaker,” says Aronofsky, who doesn’t seem to be chafing at the bit to try it. But James Cameron must be salivating. David Dibble, CEO of Sphere developer MSG Ventures, says that we should view the giant orb as a platform.
