I was in the audience that got the first look at Google's AI-augmented Wizard of Oz, and I am still rattled by the experience.

Those lions and tigers and bears wouldn’t look quite right if the film were projected onto the giant screen without some help from AI.

The power of tech and AI will showcase The Wizard of Oz in the "venue's 17,600-seat spherical space to create an immersive sensory experience," and Google says "generative AI will take center stage, alongside Dorothy, Toto and more munchkins than could ever fit in a multiplex."
