VR headsets are great, but very individualized. The GeoDome Panorama enhances teachers' lessons in a collaborative environment. Our teachers say the students are more engaged. They're asking more questions, they're pointing out and making connections between things that they haven't done in past years.

Aligning the globe’s interface with the Mines brand was important to us. We were able to customize everything from the text to the button style and colors so it matched our university look and feel. It was quite impressive how well The Elumenati team made our vision come to life in such a short turnaround time.

People told me they had never had an experience with content like this before. The vast majority of people wanted to stay and watch all of our content. People in all age ranges were really invested in each story – even a group of teenage boys who were joking around when they came in came to me afterward to tell me how emotional and compelling our work was.
—- Ian Carr / Director of Technology Innovation, Save the Children
I love working with Elumenati and being a part of the GeoDome Network. I have been able to create amazing experiences for my audiences using WorldViewer that I never could have otherwise.
