Igloo Vision VR domes
Igloo has developed a technology that allows laser projection on a 360-degree surface provided by purpose-built domes available as 6m( 12 people); 9m( 35 people); 12.5m( 220 people); and 21m( 750-1,000 people). These geodesic domes are built in aluminium, which allows the projectors, lights and audio gear to be rigged on the structure. The result is an immersive experience for people to appreciate without the need to wear any device. On the contrary, attendees can interact with each other. Due to the visuals being built in a real-time engine, they can even interact with visual projection. igloovision. com @ IglooVision
