Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fulldome?
A fulldome theater is a unique venue that projects videos across a dome-shaped ceiling, creating a 360-degree experience for viewers. Unlike traditional theaters with flat screens, fulldome theaters surround the audience with visuals, making them feel fully immersed in the scene. Visit our Virtual Dome to get a glimpse of what it’s like.
Can I show the fulldome film in multiple locations?
Absolutely! You can easily screen a fulldome film at various venues because most fulldome theaters share a standard hemispheric screen format and feature advanced projection and sound systems. This enables you to produce the film once and showcase it at multiple locations worldwide, increasing your reach while keeping equipment and logistics costs low.
Can I repurpose the fulldome content for VR?
Yes, you can! With careful planning, repurposing fulldome content for VR is entirely feasible. Both formats share significant similarities, which makes it easy to adapt your immersive films for different platforms. This flexibility allows you to showcase your content at various events, ensuring you get the most out of your initial investment.
What is an immersive show?
An immersive show integrates live performances with cinematic storytelling, using technologies like projection mapping and augmented reality. This combination creates an engaging environment where the audience can experience the narrative in a dynamic and interactive way.
Can the immersive effect be applied to large venues?
Fulldome theaters are optimized for audience sizes between 30 and 300 people. The Sphere in Las Vegas can accommodate 18600 people. For venues with 1000 to 5000 people, the immersive effect can be created through specially designed projections.
