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.

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.

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.

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.

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
