What content will be shown?
The Tourism Board of South Africa will create custom content for the dome through 360 shoots with local studios.
Content creation workshops
As a company, we’re committed to assisting our clients with their dome content creation needs. For this particular project, we offered on-the-ground technical support, as well as workshops on 360 shoots, post-production processes, and CGI in dome format. Dome content requires a different approach to regular screen content creation.
What will visitors experience?
Dome visitors can take a digital tour of South Africa’s landscapes, gaze at the bright and beautiful stars in the sky, and explore all of the exciting tourist attractions and safari adventures that await holidaymakers.

Why is the Virtual Reality (VR) dome so suited to this kind of tourism promotion?
Our VR dome features a low-screen line that allows for a full sensory experience without the need for headsets. While it requires a more complex setup with 14 separate projectors, the end result is truly one-of-a-kind. If you’re looking to showcase stunning landscapes and sensory tourism experiences the, VR dome is a truly spectacular canvas.
Are virtual tourism experiences effective?
Similar VR tourism experiences in projection domes have proven to be incredibly effective in boosting physical destination bookings. Studies show that after experiencing a destination virtually, people are more likely to book a physical trip because they feel a sense of familiarity with the location. We wish the Tourism Board of South Africa all the best in their efforts to showcase the wonders of their unique and beautiful country to people around the world.
