The Dome Company creates a projection dome as a hemispherical structure to project wrap-around images or videos onto its inner and/or outer surfaces. Projection domes create a group 360 virtual reality immersive experience without the need for VR goggles.

Typically, the screen horizon sits at 1800mm but it can be lower. The Dome Company designs projection domes as ‘Fulldome’ cinemas, projecting onto the entire dome interior above 1.8m, including the ceiling, not just onto a 360-degree cylindrical screen.

The exterior fabric of the geodesic dome is opaque (block out) Ferrari 702 fabric, fire rated and weatherproof. We directly project mapping onto the dome’s interior fabric surface, making the dome frame visible. Refer to the 12m and 18m projection domes @ domecompany.com.au/video/
For a more immersive experience we create a ‘negative pressure’ projection screen.

The most common types of projection used for the input of fulldome content are Equirectangular (also called Spherical or Panorama 360), Cube Map and Fisheye.

1. Content can be custom-made in collaboration with our team.
2. Content can be licensed from the original creators. It must be supplied in a dome master file format suitable for fulldome projections. Content resolution should be at least 4K.
3. Free content can also be screened without licensing

It is possible to connect multiple domes (of same or different sizes) together. Extra fabric and frame will be necessary and varies depending on the application.

This will depend on the duration of the proposed event.  If the event is for longer than a 2 week period, then it is typically more cost-effective to purchase than it is to hire one of our projection domes.
