Le Dôme
A gigantic immersive projection installation
We are currently open for business
Description
Le Dôme, a free event, will feature interactive workshops on the possibilities of 360° immersion, a humanoid robot, discovery kiosks, digital mapping, team video games and immersive videos.
This unique large-scale project will take place under a gigantic dome measuring 26.25 feet in diameter and 16.4 feet in height. Its aluminum structure can accommodate from fifty to seventy people.
The aim of this event is to encourage young people, particularly girls, to enter IT-related programs at the Université du Québec à Montréal, Université de Montréal and Collège Montmorency.
