dotmill, Korean immersive content specialist, creates content for the Las Vegas Sphere
- Content direction and production for the world's largest spherical LED display, the Sphere - Co-produced with Galaxy Corporation, demonstrating Korea's immersive content capabilities on the global stage SEOUL, South Korea, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- South Korea's immersive content specialist dotmill participated in the content direction and production for the world's largest spherical LED display, the Sphere, located in Las Vegas, USA. This project was carried out in partnership with Galaxy Corporation, making dotmill the first Korean company to directly produce content for the Sphere. The Sphere is an ultra-large spherical media façade measuring 157 meters in diameter and 111 meters in height. It stands as the world's only immersive LED screen capable of a full 360-degree panoramic display. Due to its enveloping structure and curved surface, the platform demands sophisticated graphic design and spatial analysis, making it an iconic stage accessible to only a few global content producers. dotmill collaborated closely with Galaxy Corporation across the entire project spectrum—from planning and direction to production—crafting a new form of immersive content optimized for the Sphere's structural characteristics and immersive environment. The final content serves as part of a major Korean financial group's brand campaign. It opens with a scene where the "Daisy" motif and logo, symbolic of the brand's model, visually converge in outer space. Viewers are then immersed in the brand message through expressive digital artwork and cinematic production techniques. "The Sphere is not merely a colossal screen but a platform that requires an entirely new approach to content, both in terms of its physical structure and viewing environment. This project demanded technical interpretation and visual strategies vastly different from traditional video production processes, and we believe it is highly meaningful that we were able to meet those challenges successfully. Through our collaboration with Galaxy Corporation, we were able to demonstrate that dotmill's technological prowess and creativity are truly competitive on the global stage," a dotmill spokesperson commented. dotmill is a South Korean media-tech firm specializing in immersive content, including extended reality (XR), interactive media, and production and operations of theme attractions powered by digital twin technology.

Czech court cancels injunction banning nuclear power plant contract with Korea's KHNP: report
A Czech court has canceled an injunction banning the signing of a multibillion-dollar nuclear power plant contract with South Korea, lifting a major hurdle in the final agreement between the two sides, the Korean company in charge of the project said Wednesday. The Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. (KHNP) confirmed media reports that the Czech Supreme Administrative Court overturned the injunction that has prevented the European nation's Elektrarna Dukovany II (EDU II), the entity in charge of the project, and the South Korean consortium, led by KHNP, from signing the final contract to build two new nuclear power units in Dukovany nuclear power plant. The move came following EDU II's appeal last month against a local court decision to issue an injunction temporarily suspending the finalization of the estimated 26 trillion-won ($18.6 billion) deal at the request of French energy company EDF, a losing bidder in the tender process. The KHNP had initially planned to sign the final agreement with EDU II on May 7 to build two 1,063-megawatt reactors at the Czech power plant, located about 170 kilometers southeast of Prague. If the deal is finalized, it will mark South Korea's first overseas nuclear power plant contract since 2009, when the country secured a deal to build the Barakah nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates. "The KHNP welcomes the Czech supreme court's decision to reverse the injunction and looks forward to swiftly signing a final contract with Prague," the Korean company said. (Yonhap)
