What is Inside?

📅 Since I hadn’t attended the concert, which was priced at $500 per person, I opted for the 2-hour experience with a $79 ticket on a weekday. 🎟️💼

🏙️ The adventure at The Sphere Las Vegas begins with a journey through the Atrium, a mesmerizing space pulsating with four interactive experiences that will leave you spellbound for 45 minutes. 🕐Then, you have 50 minutes of multi-sensory movie time! 🍿

🤖 Meet Aura: The World’s Most Advanced Robot

🤖In the late 90s, I eagerly awaited each episode of “RoboCop” 🧑‍🚀 as a kid, which introduced me to the concept of robots. As a teenager, I was fascinated by robots again after watching the movie “Terminator.” 🚘When the first humanoid robot, Sophia, went live in 2016, It became obvious that smarter robots would appear in the future. 🔮

🌟 So, when I found out that one of the most advanced AI humanoid robots, Aura, calls the Sphere its home, I knew I had to go see her! 👁️ Aura the Robot is Sphere’s very own humanoid spokesperson! 🎤 Aura can depict expressive facial features and mobility. 🤖When I interacted with it, I felt really overwhelmed! It was like I was inside a sci-fi movie!💬😊

We encountered five Aura robots during our visit, each representing connection, productivity, creativity, innovation, and longevity. 🤖Visitors have the opportunity to interact with each one before the movie begins. ✨

📸 Avatar Scanners: Journey to the Metaverse!

There was another amazing innovation called “avatar scanners” 📸, which can be used to enter the virtual world. These machines scanned each guest, transporting them into virtual reality. Upon completion, guests received an email containing a video of their 3D avatar in the Metaverse 🌐. But unfortunately, this one was out of operation during our visit. 🚫😞

🌟 Immersive Holographic Art: The Largest Ever Display!

✨Step into a world of wonder and engage with holographic art installations that blur the lines between reality and fantasy! 🎨 The impressive project boasted 420 SmartV HYPERVSN displays, each towering 50 feet high and suspended from the atrium wall. 🖥️Together, they formed the Largest Ever Holographic Display in the world! 🌍🌟

🕰️ Journey Through the – Rings of Time

🤯 Don’t miss the Rings of Time, a showcase of 22nd-century technology that will transport you to realms beyond your wildest dreams! 🕰️

✨ As part of the experience, there were four circles on the ground, and as guests walked through each, the sound in that area would change! 🔄🔊 From different languages to instrumental sounds, it kind of felt unreal! 🎶🌐

🌍 Journey Through the Senses: The Postcard to Earth

🌟Are you ready to have your mind blown by the largest LED screen you’ve ever seen?

It’s a massive 160,000 square feet of visual awesomeness with 18K resolution!🌍 It is a visual treat for sure! I cannot even describe how clear the projection was! 📺

🎬✨Another captivating feature of this movie is its multi-sensory experience! 💺 The seats are designed to make you feel everything, including vibrations, while changes in air, temperature, and even relevant scents elevate your cinematic journey to new heights. 👃🌬️

🫡 Darren made this statement true for the audience. 🎬 The story is based on a few astronauts who are making a comeback to Mother Earth after thousands of years. 🚀 The movie will take you to each continent of the world. 🌍 In one second, you might be in Africa; in the next, you will find yourself in Asia! 🎥 And all of them are so real, so vibrant! 😲

🌎 Not only that, the movie will transport you to the most remote places on Earth, or even under the sea, in the blink of an eye! 🌊👁️‍🗨️

🐾 The animal footage is so realistic that it’s hard to believe it’s not real! 🎥 You’ll feel like you’re right there in the wild, experiencing every moment alongside these magnificent creatures! 🐾🌿

There’s also a part of the movie where you’ll experience real storm formations! 🌩️With 18,600 seats and an impressive 875,000 square feet of space, it’s like stepping into a sci-fi movie set right in the heart of Sin City. 🎬

At one point in the movie, it vividly depicts how humans are causing natural destruction. 🌍🔥 It showcases scenes of deforestation, industrial pollution, and other human activities that harm the environment, serving as a powerful reminder of our impact on the planet. 🌿🏭

All this high-tech wizardry didn’t come cheap though – it cost a jaw-dropping $2.3 billion to bring this dream to life, much more than anyone expected! 💰 But trust me, it’s worth every penny! 🤑 It is a must see place in the world in my opinion! So what are you waiting for? Take the next flight to Vegas! I will see you at some other corner of the world, till then happy exploring with Haque’s EYE!
