Good evening from Las Vegas, where choice attendees from the event have just been treated to a sneak peek of a brand new attraction opening at the Sphere in August – The Wizard of Oz at Sphere.

Made in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery, Google Cloud, and Magnopus, the finished product will run as a multi-sensory, 16k recreation of the original 1939 movie for the Sphere’s 160,000-square-foot screen using Google DeepMind’s video generation models.
