Joseph Kosinski and Claudio Miranda so disliked the extensive use of blue screen mattes in Tron: Legacy (2010) that for this film, they wanted to use real glass, mirrors and shiny surfaces for the glass tower set. The sky footage was projected on a 500x45' screen consisting of 21 monitors, and was filmed for three weeks from the summit of Haleakala volcano in Maui, Hawaii. The rooms with windows were lit by the light from those projections. The monitors took ten technicians several weeks to install and fine tune with floor-level rig support. In the end, the actors complimented the production team for that design to such an extent that Tom Cruise declared that the glass tower was one of his favorite film sets. This technology was eventually upgraded into the Volume, which has been used on every live action Star Wars show since The Mandalorian (2019) and on such films like The Batman (2022) and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022).
