The Digital Dome @ IAIA is the world’s first fully movable dome. This unique venue creates a physical and emotional response by immersing the viewer in high resolution spherical imagery and surround sound creating a physical and emotional response. It engulfs the viewer in the full range of human vision and sound producing a unique immersive experience. The Digital Dome @ IAIA brings new life to the historic, planetarium model of the medium by providing artists an endless amount of opportunities for creation.
