About DomeLab

DomeLab is the first mobile ultra-high resolution (4K) (4096 x 4096 pixels) experimental fulldome in Australia. The immersive, dome-based video projection environment is 6m wide, horizontally suspended over users and filled with interactive real-time or pre-rendered content. The system is a unique, low-cost full dome display system integrating technical innovation in computing power and graphics capabilities with aesthetic innovation in content delivery and specifically designed for rapid assembly.

DomeLab offers researchers a pathway to much needed, higher-level visualisation outcomes. It is a framework that provides users with an enhanced experience and deeper understanding as it extends conventional models to facilitate engagement into more complex information spaces. The system advances new frontiers in immersive visualisation, intelligent interaction and networked experiences for interactive media, museology and digital humanities research.

DomeLab will be showcased during Design and Play exhibition at the RMIT Design Hub from April 29 – May and in collaboration with Melbourne Knowledge Week (2-8 May) starting on April 29. At RMIT DomeLab will feature video, animation, games and virtual art experiences that are developed by researchers at RMIT and UNSW.

The exhibition will also be accompanied by a Masterclass led by Prof Sarah Kenderdine, Prof Paul Bourke and Associate Professor Stefan Greuter. The Masterclass will cover the development of linear video and animation based content as well as real-time content including virtual art and digital games for this unique fulldome visualisation system.

DomeLab will be accompanied by a DomeLab simulator based on Ultra High Definition Displays and Virtual Reality Hardware. The DomeLab simulator provides researchers and Masterclass delegates with a platform to develop and test content for DomeLab. It also provides visitors of the exhibition with the opportunity to observe and learn about the content creation process.

DomeLab is a collaboration between 15 investigators from 11 organisations whose pioneering research is at the forefront of new media art, new museology and digital humanities and funded by an ARC LIEF grant.
