Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere, using Google AI

I am honored to be part of a Google team that has worked with MSG Sphere, Magnopus, and Warner Bros. to bring the 1939 Classic Film, The Wizard of Oz (Wikipedia, IMDB), to the world’s largest screen in an experiential format while honoring the original content.
