A perfect, seamless screen
• Premium projection quality and feel
• Mobile or fixed projection dome
• No visible holes or perforations in the screen
• Fast, easy and durable installation
Blowers are used to evacuate the air between the external, structural envelope of the dome and the inner fabric envelope. This creates negative pressure and causes the screen to conform perfectly to the shape of the dome.
Single server, total control
Single server ideology
Setting a new standard for the fulldome industry. With the help of revolutionary technology it’s possible to connect up to 64 projectors and deliver an 8K resolution using just one Fulldome Media Server.
Rock-solid stability
Fulldome Media Servers run on a custom build of the Linux OS, which ensures quick system start, unmatched malware protection, and rock-solid stability and reliability. A single server solution also results in a lower failure rate and an easier hardware replacement, over multi-server systems.
Simple wireless control
Running the show has never been easier. The projection system is controlled wirelessly with the help of an intuitive iPad interface. You have complete freedom to operate the show from any place in the dome and interact with the audience easily and comfortably. The universe really is in the palm of your hand!

Negative pressure geodesic domes
Negative pressure makes a smooth interior. The bottom drape can be customised and can be made in vinyl for rain resistance, and the sturdy aluminium frame allows outdoor use in good weather. Features a two-metre spring line for open events, so height is 5m for a 6m diameter dome and 6m for an 8m dome. Packs in 3 rolling packing cases for shipping or storage.
The structure is perfect for indoors where you want to avoid the issues associated with deflating a positive pressure dome and at the same time have an open, inviting space for people to come and go as they please without the feeling of being trapped inside a closed structure.
We offer 3 sizes of geodesic negative pressure domes. Our 5-metre Geo-Dome is designed for indoor use only and is perfect for trade shows and indoor events. Our 6- and 8-metre Geo-Domes are designed for either indoor use or temporary outdoor use under restricted conditions.
Note on outdoor use: We have designed the 6 and 8 metre Geo-Domes for “Non-Certified Temporary Use” – so they will withstand 20 mph winds and 45 mph gusts. Under this classification, the structure cannot remain erected outdoors for longer than 20 days in a row.
Pricing notes: 15° tilt add 12%. Outdoor version add an additional 30%.
