Sphere
at Venetian Resort
One block east of the Strip, walkable from the Venetian resort, is the 25 story (366 feet) tall, 516 foot wide Sphere. The outside is powered by 1.2 million (600,000 square feet), of programmable lighting, that create the highest resolution screen in the world at 19,000 by 13,500 pixels.
The inside seats 17,385 people, to view 580,000 square feet of LEDs and become immersed in a 168,000 speaker 'beamforming' acoustic system that includes a haptic system to 'feel' the sound. All a person's senses are all addressed - from the ultra-wide curved interior LED canvas mirroring how the human eye sees the real world to atmospherics utilizing 'wave field synthesis' and infrasound to simulating effects that allow the viewer to feel everything from the swell of a tide, a shift in gravity or to feel the force of an explosion.
This is Sphere - the only entertainment venue of its kind in the world.
