FULLDOME
A new, extraordinary medium
“Some day in the not too distant future you’ll be able to go to a movie and the movie will be all around you.
The movie will be over your head, it will be a 360 degrees around you, even be a little bit under you…”
(STEVEN SPIELBERG)
Fulldome is an extraordinary medium which is particularly suitable for conveying valuable, educational and entertaining content. With the innovative 180-degree projection system, the content and images have a far stronger impact on the audience compared with a flat screen. The audience is effectively placed in the middle of what is going on, enjoying an unparalleled audio-visual and emotional experience which leaves a deep impression on them.
Visually, gravity as a theme offers unique possibilities. Images of space are ideal for fulldome presentation. Projected onto the surface of the dome, the night sky unleashes a magical effect, transporting the audience into the depths of the universe. In particularly, the sensation of space and changes to it can be experienced directly in the dome. We have developed special visual effects to render changes in distance and speed plastic. In this way, the cinematographic experience in the dome leads to an expansion of consciousness in terms of content and also at the technical level.
STEREOSCOPIC 3D VISION
Omni-directional stereoscopic 3D in the dome
To further intensify the feeling of diving into the scenes and becoming part of it, the fulldome film was also produced in omnidirectional stereoscopic fulldome 3D. Omnidirectional means the stereoscopic 3D effect can be experienced on any spot around the dome, all around the audience – the viewer becomes part of the action. In order to realize this high-end fulldome 3D effect, we developed and programmed software and optimized production processes.
DOLBY ATMOS MIX
3D for your ears
Immersive images need immersive sound, that’s why we created the revolution in sound. In cooperation with Dolby and Arri Media we produced the first DOLBY ATMO Surround Mix for a Fulldome Movie.

From 360° VIDEOS to VIRTUAL REALITY
Dive into another world
360 ° videos offer a perfect all around view . The audience is able to look in all directions within the movie either by scrolling with the mouse on screen or by using virtual reality goggles. The latter produces the effect of the feeling to be really in the middle of the scene . For the film ” Gravity” a 360 ° trailer has already been produced and in brief we also will provide episodes of the movie as content for VR goggles.

Making Of
The challenge: Scientifically correct general theory of relativity in a fulldome environment
A century of general relativity
The year 2015 marked the 100th anniversary of the release of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity (GTR). Ten years after revolutionizing our comprehension of light in the special theory of relativity, Einstein did the same for the force of gravitation. While overturning our understanding of gravity, he also changed our view of the nature of space and time itself. Probed to its most subtle predictions and confirmed countless of times, the GTR remains a theory of unsurpassed accuracy and elegance. It reinforced Einstein’s status as a superstar of modern science and made him the epitome of a genius. Ironically, it is this standing as a prodigy that leads to reservations about engagement with the GTR in the greater public. People ask themselves, quite understandably, how could they could ever fathom a genius’ masterpiece?
