INNOVATIVE
EXPERIENCES
Our dedication to innovation is exemplified by our pioneering fulldome projections, which offer a 360-degree cinematic experience that is not just about viewing but being a part of the story. This immersive technology goes beyond the confines of traditional cinema, inviting audiences to step inside the story and experience it with all their senses. By enveloping viewers in a visually stunning and interactive environment, our fulldome projections create a unique sense of presence and engagement.
They allow participants to move beyond passive observation, encouraging them to interact with the narrative and become integral parts of the unfolding drama. This approach not only enhances the viewing experience but also deepens the emotional and sensory involvement of the audience, making every performance a memorable, one-of-a-kind journey.
COMMUNITY AND CULTURE
We are committed to building communities. Whether it’s through our engaging virtual influencer, Luna Dolph, who bridges the gap between digital and real-life experiences, or through our immersive fulldome events that celebrate local artists and historical heritage, our goal is to bring people together. Luna Dolph, as a digital entity with a human touch, plays a pivotal role in this mission, using her platform to encourage people to step away from their screens and engage in enriching real-world interactions.
Similarly, our immersive fulldome events provide a venue for experiencing culture in an entirely new way, allowing audiences to immerse themselves in the narratives and beauty of local and historical artistry. By hosting these events in geodesic domes across various cities, we not only bring unique, culturally rich cinema experiences to a broad audience but also foster a sense of community and connectivity among diverse groups of people. These gatherings serve as a catalyst for dialogue, understanding, and appreciation of cultural diversity, helping to weave a tighter social fabric in every location we touch.

A PLATFORM FOR EMERGING ARTISTS
![An artistic ancient futuristic world.](https://www.theusualnext.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/artists2-1024x736.png)
Supporting emerging talents and showcasing local beauties and archaeological sites are at the heart of our mission. We provide a platform where new artists can shine, integrate with more established names, and where the historical narratives of lesser-known locales can captivate audiences through advanced storytelling techniques. By doing so, we not only foster the growth of emerging artists but also preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage of various regions.
Our commitment extends to creating a vibrant ecosystem where artists from diverse backgrounds can collaborate, innovate, and push creative boundaries. This approach allows us to offer audiences not just entertainment, but an educational and inspiring experience that deepens their understanding of history and culture. Each project we undertake is an opportunity to bring untold stories to life, using the latest in immersive technology to engage viewers in a way that is both informative and transformative.
COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL INTERACTION
By doing so, we counteract the digital divide and promote a culture of inclusivity and participation. Our efforts are dedicated to demonstrating that in a world increasingly mediated by screens, meaningful community connections are not only possible but can be enriched by the thoughtful application of digital innovations.
