Don’t worry, we’re here to help. As one of the most experienced players in the event space, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about finding this unique projection solution.

Read on to learn what dome projection solutions can do for your business, where to look for a provider, and what to look out for when selecting your collaborator.

What Dome Projection Does for Businesses

We live in the age of ‘attention’. Businesses must constantly compete with others in their niche to capture the attention of their target consumers. Sometimes, that calls for doing something a little out of the box.

Dome projection is something we developed back in 2007 in response to a unique event need. Since then, we’ve been connecting businesses with dome projection solutions for a variety of different projects.

The biggest benefit of this approach is its ability to capture attention. Humans value storytelling, and creating a personal sky-like display for your viewers is a stunning way to tell your business’ story. Whether advertising or informing, dome projection is the perfect strategy for highlighting an important topic for your audience.

Some ways we’ve worked with businesses to utilise dome projection solutions include:

· Entertainment – Tell a story for the sake of it! The dome allows your audience members to experience your chosen entertainment media in 180-degree surround, capturing their senses to create a shining memory.

· Education – Time and time again, educators have proven that learning outcomes improve when viewers are engaging with and enjoying the subject matter. Dome projects are the perfect way to engage new learners, immersing them completely in the subject matter. The novelty of this approach helps them internalise new subjects and topics with ease.

· Corporate Presentations – Whether presenting to your stakeholders, customers, or in-house executives, utilising a dome for your next corporate presentation will blow your audience away. Some corporate presentations can end up dry or uninteresting, but taking the time to celebrate a new launch or milestone with a beautifully-rendered dome projection will create immense interest for anyone watching.

· Trade Shows – Steal the show with your very own zone within the expo! A dome projection has massive appeal for bored event attendees, ensuring you’ll draw plenty of interested eyes. Stand out from the crowd and generate interest in your offering with ease.

Where to Find a Dome Projection Provider and Key Features to Look For

The best way to look for a dome projection services provider is to head to Google and start doing your research. The best proof is social proof, so don’t be afraid to jump into past case studies and reviews.

In fact, one of the best places to look for a dome projection provider is to look at past events that have successfully used this technology. Dig deeper into the event’s creation, looking for the organiser and projection specialist. That’s where you’ll find the best companies to rely on!

For example, we transformed the Auckland Concert Chamber into a journey across history using multi-story scaffolding and twelve Christie projectors for ultimate fidelity. This was as part of Te Hono for Element AKL, an iconic event spanning the Auckland area over the summer.

What to Look For:

Not sure how to pick out the right provider? We’ve had a few years in the game, and over that time, we’ve picked up what to look for. Let’s break it down.

High-Quality Equipment:

When it comes to the health and safety of your attendees, there can be no compromise. A high-quality dome and projection system ensures that your event will go off without a hitch. Poor quality equipment can result in health and safety hazards, on top of creating a poor experience for attendees.

Experience with the Medium:

Dome projection is its own beast. Projecting onto a flat surface doesn’t require any special expertise, but dome projection requires careful placement of the projectors as well as pre-distortion of the footage so that it will play correctly. Working with an inexperienced studio will create a lot of stress in this arena.

Built-In Studio Support:

Similarly, high-quality dome projection requires custom-made videos that are pre-distorted to match the curvature of the dome. If your business opts for a dome projection provider without the built-in studio support, it’s possible that the video will not match the dimensions required for the dome, resulting in disaster on the event day. On top of that, working with the same providers for both dome and projection ensures you can collaborate more clearly on your creative vision!
