Community Content Platform for the Las Vegas Sphere
Community Content Platform for the Las Vegas Sphere
The Las Vegas Sphere is a cutting-edge public display, but its content is currently dominated by corporate and high-budget productions, leaving little room for individual creators or community participation. This creates an opportunity to transform the Sphere into a more inclusive and dynamic platform where anyone—from digital artists to tourists—can share their work or messages.
Democratizing Access to a Landmark Display
One way to address this gap could be through a web-based platform where users submit videos or digital content for potential display on the Sphere. The platform might include:
- Moderation tools to ensure content meets technical and appropriateness standards.
- A voting system to crowdsource popular submissions.
- Paid submission slots for those who want guaranteed display time.
This approach could turn the Sphere into a collaborative public art space while providing new revenue opportunities for its operators.
Stakeholder Benefits and Execution
The platform could serve multiple groups:
- Creators gain prestige by showcasing work on a global stage.
- Visitors might share personal moments like proposals or celebrations.
- Sphere operators could monetize submissions and boost public engagement.
An MVP could start with a simple upload interface and mockup previews, followed by partnerships with Sphere operators to test feasibility. Technical challenges like bandwidth costs could be managed through tiered access or cloud-based scaling.
Standing Out from Existing Models
Unlike Times Square billboards or event-specific social media walls, this idea combines the accessibility of user-generated content with the permanence and prestige of a landmark venue. By focusing on inclusivity and interactivity, it could create a unique hybrid of public art and participatory media.
