The Sphere in Las Vegas has garnered global attention since its fruition and the new MINI Sphere designed by Carl Bugeja honors the structure. It is a homemade version of the Sphere that is comprised using a range of LED lighting and programming.
The adorable replica honors the architectural building and it even lights up to display a wide range of graphics including the planet Earth, emoji faces, and much more. The MINI Sphere has an accelerometer integrated to detect when it is being lifted off of the table top to display a scared emoji face. Carl created the MINI Sphere to be about the size of a baseball. It maintains a strong pixel density that looks like a display and not a cluster of pixels.
