Elumenati Projects

Check out some of the projects we’re particularly proud of. These reflect the quality of our solutions and our inventive approach to helping clients create unparalleled immersive experiences.

  • The Cyclorama allows us to create a shared, stereoscopic VR experience for dozens of simultaneous viewers. With WorldViewer we can load content from 360 video rigs, 3D animation, and real-time game engines. Our project had many unique requirements, and The Elumenati showed tremendous flexibility to meet these goals.
