Our Work | Immersive Projection Design | The Elumenati

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.

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.

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.

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.

Moogseum GeoDome Portal In “How Electricity Becomes Sound” in the Portal, visitors explore the process in a custom-built Unity game. The animation follows an electrical current through oscillator, transistor, capacitor, and resistor. We built a controller with analog synth-style knobs, so that museum guests can tweak the various elements to understand how they affect sound waves.

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 the Children’s Museum of Manhattan began work on our exhibition six years ago, it was our dream to be able transport visitors around the world. With the help of the Elumenati’s amazing GeoDome Panorama and WorldViewer, that dream became a reality.
