Working with WWE chairman Vince McMahon, Jason Robinson wrestled with the Covid-19 era mandate to “create an arena that looks full of people, but with no one in it.” Robinson came up with a curved layer LED tile creating seven rows of “audience.” They sought a higher resolution for the audience closer to the ring that proportionally decreased the further and higher up the seating layers away from the center of action. Famous Group was brought in after the design was complete to populate the virtual audience. Their software technology allows the WWE Universe to sign into the website and be virtually transported to the arena.
