Immersa-Dome
Aardvark Applications
The Immersa-Dome is the world’s first multi-sensory, projection-based virtual reality system — like taking a thrill ride while sitting still. Take a seat, lower the giant dome over your head and watch vivid CGI or hi-def video with both front and peripheral views and stereo surround-sound. Your seat vibrates, simulated gusts of wind blow through your hair, and time-triggered scents put Smell-O-Vision to shame. Better yet, you can skip those enormous black VR goggles: Though it may look like a space-age salon hairdryer, Immersa-Dome requires no headgear, allowing you to enjoy your virtual adventure without ever touching the console.
