Robert Scoble argues the Sphere's Wizard of Oz show in Las Vegas delivers immersion no VR device matches — Varjo and Apple come closest, but 'you swear the sky is real.' The show has drawn 3.6M+ guests, using a 160,000 sq ft interior display, 167,000 programmable speakers, wind/fire/infrasound haptics and scents, with gen-AI techniques used in its production.
