Our collaboration with the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences continued in 2021 as we upgraded the SECU Daily Planet, a three-story theater with a 42-foot-tall screen. A blended projection system is driven by a customized image generator and WorldViewer’s Open Playground extension.
Visitors experience the projected content from all three floors of the Nature Research Center. View Project
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.

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.

Our new Elumenati projection system has made our 6′ Magic Planet come to life. The brightness and quality of the projected image make a major difference in the impact the globe makes on viewers. We are extremely happy and look forward to adding more content for our guests to explore.

The GeoDome Panorama allows the Bell Museum staff to incorporate new media to keep content in the exhibit current, such as displaying video of the launch of Parker Solar Probe, exploring a Mars dust storm, and celebrating NASA’s 60th anniversary. We also use the daily updated NASA Eyes software.

The GeoDome Panorama enables Magnopus to create immersive experiences for our wide range of clientele, and is the perfect environment for group virtual reality reviews during our creative process.
— Ben Grossman / Magnopus Co-founder
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.

When we began work on our exhibition, it was our dream to transport visitors around the world. With the help of the Elumenati’s amazing GeoDome Panorama and WorldViewer, that dream became a reality. Children and families are immersed in, and can marvel at, mosque architecture from Italy to Iran, from the Maldives to Morocco.

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.
--Sara Schultz, Planetarium Manager, Minnesota State University - Moorhead
We relied on The Elumenati's WorldViewer. Their platform-agnostic tool worked seamlessly in the dome and made it relatively simple to author not only the live, narrated shows we presented, but also displayed all of the autorun content.

A dual-projector OmniFocus solution fills the dome with projected imagery of migrating butterflies and flashing fireflies, in a Unity project ported into the custom configuration with WorldViewer and SuperCubeMapper.
We upgraded image quality, increased immersion, and simplified operations in the Daily Planet, a three-story theater with a 42-foot-tall screen. A blended projection system is driven by a customized image generator and WorldViewer’s Open Playground extension.
Visitors explore dynamic ultra-high resolution Evryscope images, zooming into locations and launching videos on topics like exoplanets with safe, hands-free interactivity through WorldViewer’s gesture sensor support.
We updated the 500 series projection system and installed custom 7.1 audio. WorldViewer manages all show control, integrating A/V, lighting, and power with the trailer’s complex structure via simple touchscreen and tablet interfaces.
We replaced a complex cluster system with WorldViewer’s Open Playground to launch a suite of astronomy applications, including OpenSpace.
In Exploring the Planets at the National Air and Space Museum, a globe and a panorama bring to life to the wonder of exploring our solar system and beyond, with datasets from NASA’s JPL.
In a custom 8m Panorama with a single 270° screen, audiences explore cultural heritage topics in IDIA Labs’ Unity-based VR projects across the arts, sciences, medicine and the humanities.
The Panorama is part of an exhibit that tells the story of Life in the Universe. Using Leap Motion and WorldViewer, we created a custom application to kick off guests’ interactive experiences.
On the 4′ globe in the ESC, Eyes on the Earth is enabled for spherical display through Omnity and our dev collaboration with JPL. WorldViewer drives multiple displays through a single interface.
Big data and complex concepts come to life in the Cloud Theater, NetApp’s executive briefing center. We provided a dual-projector OmniFocus solution with WorldViewer for our clients at ASG, NetApp’s AV ecosystem provider.
Museum visitors interact with information on a custom-designed lobby display lit by edge-blended projectors, with content driven by WorldViewer.
Hey, we made a video! Our co-founder, D’nardo Colucci, narrates the evolution of The Elumenati and VR technologies.
The Neurological Rehabilitation VR project is using a customized GeoDome Panorama with their OptiTrack Motion Tracking system.
We created a custom 7m Panorama with OmniFocus projection, which took up to 20 guests on an immersive 3D journey into Cave 45.
32′ in diameter, the Cyclorama features four edge-blended OmniFocus projectors with laser light engines. WorldViewer delivers 120 Hz stereo content at 4K resolution per screen from a single rack mount computer.
