Why so many? Its resolution is 16000 x 16000 which is a lot but also not that much. Is it doing more than just video output?
The seats are haptic too. It takes forever to render the graphics apparently so maybe that’s why - not playback but rendering. Apparently After Effects will only go up to 12k?
I’m not super technical but I have been to the Sphere. It’s awesome.
IIRC, the interior of the main performance space is also covered in video wall, so add that to the pile.
But, yeah… I doubt this power is for playback. My guess would be render farm.
This is an ad.
Still interesting to know just how expensive that thing is and what it takes to run it
“you know that hateful eyesore that is an affront to humanity? that’s powered by our technology!”
But can it run Crysis?
On medium is the best I can do
Came to the comments for this 👍
Reveals? Is that the right word? The sphere has been around for a while now, was this information not known? Doesn’t seem like something they were intentionally keeping secret.
It looks like that can change, but that looks like an epic fucking building. I really like the dark blue as it reminds me very much of the ocean.
The frustrating part is that it’s just a giant fucking advertising billboard when they aren’t hosting events inside.
Yeah, I could totally see it being used for that.
What’s the hashrate on that?
