To do this, we installed 8 Panasonic video projectors that stand upright and completely cover the 8 segments of the dome. The projectors receive their signal from 2 video wall controllers, which in turn are supplied with signals from 2 x 4K HDMI from the video server. The content is mainly generated by a touch designer system in real time and projected onto the dome. Although it is a fulldome projection, the geometric shape of the dome is not perfectly "round", but rather in triangles tapering to points. Therefore, mapping the dome was not easy, especially since Touchdesigner did not provide suitable node templates. In addition to selecting some generative content, it is also possible to import live signals directly via NDI stream. The control of the system had to be particularly user-friendly and also allow non-technicians to present the projection.For this purpose, an app was created that provides access to all important control options for the installation via a web browser.
On October 1st, 2023, the supporting program “Framebreakers” took place in the Kuppelhalle as part of the Festival of Animation Berlin 2023, where award-winning fulldome films were shown. All performances were completely sold out and were celebrated by everyone involved afterwards.
