The Las Vegas Sphere is the talk of the town right now.
The giant orb at The Venetian Resort is covered in hundreds of thousands LED lights, so you can see all kinds of videos programmed into it, from a giant realistic-looking basketball to a giant eyeball that can be seen over the Wynn Golf Club.
Which leads to the next, inevitable thing that I’ve noticed around Twitter and other social media: Memes. Lots of them. People are taking the sphere and editing fake videos and images on to it.
Here’s a roundup of the ones I’ve seen so far:
