Our mission

We aim to create an exciting and friendly community to support, stimulate and pioneer the fulldome medium.

We aim to engage academics, artists, organizations, students and all dome-enthusiasts alike to freely contribute content to make this the largest user-created, expert-cultivated Fulldome Database and global resource. (Although we don’t support spamming or shameless self-advertising!)

We strongly believe that the more people become involved with fulldome, the bigger the ideas, the better the innovations and the more amazing the immersive storytelling experience will become.

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 360 degrees around you.
Steven Spielberg in TIME Magazine, 2006
