Sphere and Disguise Partner to Innovate Live Event Technology

Sphere Entertainment Co. and Disguise, a global leader in visual technology for live events, location-based entertainment and virtual production, are enterting a new multi-year partnership to develop advanced technologies custom-made for Sphere.

Since Sphere opened in 2023, Disguise has served as a technology partner supporting the delivery of Sphere’s productions and corporate events. Sphere uses Disguise media servers and software to process, synchronize and play back content in real-time. The companies are now expanding their relationship to advance technologies and workflows to accelerate video playback capabilities and help prepare Sphere for the next phase of global growth.

“Sphere was built to redefine live entertainment, and continuing to push the boundaries of immersive experiences requires technology partners that share our ambition”, said Ryan Dolan, Executive Vice President, Head of Event & Interactive Technology, Sphere. “Every artist who has performed at Sphere has benefited from Disguise’s technology, and we’re looking forward to developing future iterations of immersive productions to support our long-term vision of offering these experiences to audiences in new Sphere venues around the world.”

“We’re honored to have Sphere’s vote of confidence in our technology and are incredibly grateful for the relationship and all the development of the last three years,” says Fernando Küfer, CEO of Disguise. “We are excited to now focus on the expansion of Sphere’s video offerings around Disguise’s technology. What motivates us at Disguise is supporting the most incredible entertainment experiences in the world. When an artist imagines something the world has never seen, they should be able to reach for it and know the system can deliver. There’s no better partner than Sphere to build that future with and it’s a personal joy to work with a team and company like them.”

As part of the collaboration, Sphere will be the first partner to bring Disguise’s next-generation technology to market.
