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. The Elumenati team developed a bespoke solution for StoryTrails and offered invaluable support across the design, testing and programming stages.

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.

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.

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
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.
