THE SERVICE

Immersive dome experiences - from our fleet to your event, or consulting on yours.

We operate a fleet of state-of-the-art portable projection domes available for festivals, corporate events, private gatherings, and educational programs. Each dome comes with full-service delivery: transport, setup, multi-projector calibration, content, sound, and on-site operation by our experienced crew. We handle the entire production so you can focus on the experience.

Already have a dome? We also offer on-site consulting and production management for existing dome shows. Whether you need a production manager to run your dome program, custom fulldome content designed for your specific projection system, or technical consulting on projector layout, blending, and calibration - our team brings years of dome production experience to your project.

RELATED SERVICES

How this connects

Our dome work is deeply integrated with our Digital Content Creation pipeline - every dome rental includes the option for custom fulldome content produced by our in-house animation team. The Software Development team builds our dome simulation and calibration tools, and for events that combine dome experiences with surrounding installations, our Projection Mapping and Fabrication capabilities extend the immersive environment beyond the dome walls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes of projection domes do you offer?
Our portable dome fleet ranges from intimate activations up to our flagship 27-foot open-faced Illumine Dome. For larger festival builds we have deployed a 60-foot Multiversal Dome at the Texas Eclipse Festival. We will spec the right diameter for your audience, venue footprint, and content resolution.
What is included with a dome rental?
Rentals are full-service: transport, rigging, multi-projector calibration and blending, sound system, and on-site crew. We can also bundle custom fulldome content so the dome ships with a show ready to run.
Can you produce custom fulldome content?
Yes. Our in-house animation and generative content team produces fulldome masters purpose-built for the specific dome geometry and projector layout - no tiling artifacts or stretched imagery. We also adapt existing content libraries when that is the better fit.
Where have you deployed your domes?
Music festivals, private events, brand activations, and public installations across the United States. Past deployments include the Texas Eclipse Festival, Sonic Bloom, and intimate venues like Checkerspot Brewery in Baltimore.
How long does setup and teardown take?
Setup typically takes a day for our standard portable domes and up to two days for the 60-foot builds, including projector calibration and content QC. Teardown is faster - usually half the setup time.
Can your domes travel outdoors?
Yes. Our structures are engineered for outdoor festival conditions with appropriate weather contingency. We ground-anchor or ballast for wind and can project during day or night with content tuned for the ambient light level.
