The core concept for the InfinityDome development focussed on creating a mobile projection dome with very short installation and dismantling times, to both fascinate its visitors and provide a flexible interior projection surface.

This inflatable dome made of translucent membrane material not only meets the specified requirements and offers an optimal solution but also makes a striking impact on the exterior with its simple material qualities and clarity of design.

Installed within the outer dome, there is a second dome made of Greyscreen material for 4K projection technology. Negative or positive pressure airflows fill the gap between these two membranes to inflate the double-skin structure. Projected images appear on the projection hemisphere in the interior or directly on the translucent material of the outer shell. The structure’s special features include a water-ballast system to anchor the dome and zippers to connect the separate structural elements.
