‘Wizard of Oz’ blown up by AI for giant Sphere screen

The Sphere, a massive Las Vegas venue, will be showcasing its first classic movie, "The Wizard of Oz," starting on August 28. This presentation is not a simple projection of the existing film; instead, the movie has been meticulously "blown up" using artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The goal is to take advantage of the Sphere's 160,000 square foot, wraparound LED screen, providing viewers with an immersive and visually stunning experience. The process of enhancing the classic film has involved upscaling the image quality and resolution, as well as optimizing the audio to match the expansive screen. This innovative approach aims to breathe new life into the beloved "Wizard of Oz" story, offering audiences a unique opportunity to experience the film in a larger-than-life setting. The Sphere's advanced technology and the creative use of AI are expected to deliver a captivating and memorable cinematic experience for viewers.
