rAVe Live Events Edition

Hello #AVtweeps. I’m excited to present David Danto’s latest column in our latest Live Events newsletter. It’s all about the Las Vegas Sphere — basically the internet and AV community’s favorite subject right now. But in this column, David writes about the importance of creating an experience and questions whether the Sphere really does that. What do you think? Read the full piece here.

Also, Bob Snyder wrote about a new Meta function called Movie Gen, which uses text inputs to generate video. Bob writes about how this will transform the entertainment and content creation industries. Read more here!

Anyway, enjoy this newsletter. Thank you for reading.
