The Elumenati worked closely with NVIDIA's teams to design, fabricate, and install a custom 28' dome theater to fit within dimensions of their SIGGRAPH 2005 booth. The dome inflated in less than 10 minutes, and all material was controlled via remote control.

Over an hour's worth of content was displayed to capacity crowds throughout the confernce, including AMNH's Sonic Vision, Search for Life, and Passport to the Universe, RPI's Molecularium, Celestial Mechanics, Optical Nervous System, and, a of course a real-time interactive 3D tour of the Universe based on the Digital Universe dataset using Uniview.

The NVIDIA Immersive Visualization Dome was a huge hit with the SIGGRAPH audience, showcasing the power of our newest visual computing platform technology to almost 1,000 people over the course of the three day conference. Every 20 minute screening was full to capacity, even with hour-long lines waiting outside. We were extremely pleased with final outcome, and are already working with the Elumenati to create visual computing experiences at future events.
