Immersive Dome Experience at Prolight + Sound 2012

Set to wow Pro Light + Sound 2012 visitors and exhibitors alike, viewers were captivated in a stunning video projection experience. This system vividly illustrates how the latest technology can be used to engage, inform, educate and interact when utilised in today’s leading visitor attractions, events and cultural institutions around the globe.

The stand comprised a 10 meter diameter, fully immersive 360° wrap-around dome screen that was the brilliant canvas for Dataton’s WATCHOUT™ multi-display presentation system. Eight high-brightness HighLiteTM series projectors using exceptional quality lenses from Digital Projection International were expertly integrated by domeprojection.com's fabulous auto-alignment system.

Content included excerpts from “Cosmic Dance“, a fulldome movie produced by Munich-based, Livinglobe, for the Canadian Museum of Hindu Civilization, Toronto, with interviews of Indian shamans and Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Duer, Nobel Prize Winner and Physist at CERN.

Fresh from joining the ranks of Digital Projection International, Ciaran Doran, International Sales and Marketing, EMEA added: “Exhibiting at Prolight + Sound is just one example of Digital Projection’s focus on European growth as we prepare to open a number of offices across the region.  It’s an exciting time for such a premium brand in the market place.”
