IMMERSIVE REVOLUTION
Imagine stepping into a painting—and walking through it. In 2025, immersive augmented and virtual reality experiences are no longer niche art installations—they're central to the future of entertainment across the USA.
Interactive Installations Draw Crowds
Immersive art installations that blend physical space with digital storytelling are captivating U.S. audiences. In Portland, the “FATHOM” exhibit invited visitors to explore a submarine-like environment filled with tactile sound-triggered art created by 100 contributors.

AR & VR Break the Fourth Wall
Augmented and virtual reality are shredding the barrier between spectator and story. Public spaces now host AR overlays that turn cityscapes into interactive canvases.
The Vegas Sphere Experience
Las Vegas Sphere is pushing the envelope with 16K visuals and spatial audio, immersing audiences in AI-driven performances and virtual concerts. The 18,600-seat venue features the world's highest resolution LED screen wrapping around the entire interior, creating unparalleled immersion.
Meanwhile, AR city tours are transforming how visitors experience historical locations, with digital overlays showing historical events at their actual locations.
