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
Our need to create a large immersive screening space in just a few hours with a couple of technicians, whilst also presenting a striking looking installation could only have been delivered via the GeoDome. The Elumenati team developed a bespoke solution for StoryTrails and offered invaluable support across the design, testing and programming stages.
--Damien Smith, Principal, ISO Design View Project
WorldViewer delivers on a perfect scale - it’s easy to add content, interactivity and user interfaces, and powerful enough to mix layers of content to tell a compelling story. As a developer, I appreciate the ability to incorporate other real-time software with WorldViewer as the front end. The complete GeoDome Globe package integrates hardware and software in an uncomplicated design.
--Erik Sunden, CTO, Visualisation Center - C at Linnkoping University, Sweden View Project
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.

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 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.
--Sally Brummel / Planetarium Manager
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 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.
—- Ian Carr / Director of Technology Innovation, Save the Children
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.
— Andrew Ackerman / Executive Director, Children’s Museum of Manhattan
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.

In this 5-DOF surfing simulator, a dual-projector OmniFocus solution maximizes space for surfers on the motion platform without casting shadows. SuperCubeMapper ports the Unity interactive into WorldViewer for immersive projection.
We collaborated with the aquarium’s exhibits team on the interactive Sea Floor Diorama, lighting the space with OmniFocus projection to bring research to life on the animals that live on the muddy plains.
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.
WorldViewer powers a unique gesture-driven user interface for the hanging 2.5m LED sphere. Visitors choose and navigate through 360° content including global datasets and NASA JPL’s Eyes on the Earth.
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.
