“Our vision with every aspect of Sphere is to transform the way people experience live events, and with Aura, we are pushing the boundaries of how robotics can be used to enhance our guests’ journey through the venue,” said CEO David Dibble, with MSG Ventures, a division of Sphere Entertainment.
There will be five Aura robots to greet guests ahead of events at the Sphere, including the upcoming experience, “Postcard from Earth”, which opens in early October. Aura will also serve as the Sphere’s “spokesbot” on digital and social platforms.
The inaugural event at Sphere will be U2’s upcoming “UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere” which opens on Sept. 29.
