When i was in Vegas last year, this was a giant black sphere under construction. I thought they were building a modern concert/convention center, black in color. Did not think for one moment that they will just cover it up leds and make its exterior a screen! Crazy stuff!!

Another huge effort to keep telling us we live in a sphere. It's so clear now.
So wait it's a giant orb but inside it's only half a stage? I would of been disappointed. $2 billion dollars and you made half a stage. The whole thing should have seats around it. Like a 360 degree show. Now that would be worth two billion.

If our civilisation falls and humanity essentially resets, stories about our achievements will probably live on, and imagine how that sphere would be described..... a massive orb that could artificially visualise anything they wanted to visualise, inside this orb was a theatre with walls that could artificially extend the room visually, or show crazy psychedelic light displays, or the landscape of a completely different country, or the far reaches of space. If all of that wasn't mind-boggling enough, this orb could host nearly 20,000 visitors who'd go to this place to be entertained. We take all these modern inventions for granted, but these achievements are vastly beyond the imaginations of our predecessors. Much like how we marvel at the architectural achievements of the ancient world and try to fathom the things we have lost to time, there is a possibility that we will be regarded similarly, if the events of the modern world lead to catastrophe.

The flying car is now available for pre-order, the Santa Clara, California-based company posted on its website. Carrying one or two occupants, the vehicle will sell for about $300,000. Buyers will be able to complete their configuration as production nears, the company, backed by a Tesla investor, said. The company said it plans to start delivering the vehicles to customers by late 2025.

At first I was like wow this is great. Then I thought how my rent goes up $200 a year and in two years I won't be able to live there. I had hoped to retire in two years but I guess I should buy a tent. $2.6 billion could have made a lot of unaffordable housing affordable. So, the great divide continues.
How many graphics card does the new Las Vegas sphere use to run those huge led displays ? Just wondering how many graphics cards are required to run that huge display, what graphics card and how many of them are used ? What cpu used too ?
Omg how beautiful that sphere looks.

I'll visit the sphere one day when I get to Las Vegas. I'll visit the Hello Kitty Cafe, play The Claw, and visit the very weird Omega Mart while I'm there. I live in Arizona, so that'll take us about 3 hours to get there.

So they finally made theaters in feel-a- round?

Long time if I had to guess. The technology is far from practical and the maintenance is going to be expensive. LED billboards fail all the time which means they'll be replacing parts of this sphere every month most likely.
