“Immersive large-scale Fulldome VR Environments have the capacity to affect Positive Social Outcomes”. — Pacific Domes
What does the future of immersive and interactive Virtual Reality (VR) environments look like for VR Projection Domes? Is it a world where the borders between our natural reality and the world of artificial intelligence is blurred – thereby, rendering the real world indistinguishable from the virtual world? You decide!
A Futuristic World Where VR meets A.I.
According to Google’s Ray Kurzweil, the Singularity (when A.I. merges with human intelligence) “is just around the corner, with true full immersion virtual reality beginning around the 2030’s. True full immersion VR will involve something akin to nanobots − robots the size of human blood cells that will enter our bloodstream and interact with our brains and nervous systems. These nanorobots will have the capacity to shut down inputs to our senses from the real world, replacing them with signals from the virtual world, instead.”
The Critical Choice-point: Is Robotic & Nanobot Technology Disruptive?
While there’s no denying that modern research is uncovering many wonderful, beneficial applications for robotic and nanorobotic (nanobot) technology, if you’re among those wondering whether this technology will be disruptive to our biofields (scientific definition of our ‘energy fields’), you’re not alone. There’s sufficient independent scientific evidence to suggest that we are at a junction point in our evolution as a human species ― the more technology we have, the more we will need nature to balance and protect our biofields.
As scientific research uncovers how technology impacts our environment, personal health and well-being, many caution that as we prepare to move into even deeper levels of entertainment and information it’s time to take a closer look at the trade-offs we are making each and every day. If we are to move responsibly into the future, we need to address our commitment to walking in balance with our natural world…
“The future will belong to the Nature-Smart ― those individuals, families, businesses and political leaders, who develop a deeper understanding of the transformative power of the natural world; and, who balance the virtual with the real. The more high-tech we become, the more nature we need.” ― Richard Louv, author of the best-selling book, “Last Child in the Woods… Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder”
The Next Wave of VR Entertainment & Education is Here!
So, how does the futuristic VR dome environment differ from our current definition of immersive virtual reality? Pacific Domes and cutting-edge digital tech collaborators, such as, Obscura Digital and Vortex Immersion Media have been working hard to steer the next wave of entertainment and education towards a positive timeline by bridging the gap between our natural evolution in human consciousness and emerging technologies.
Surpassing IMAX’s old-style projectors by replacing them with interactive digital computer graphics projected onto large-format domed screens, media and entertainment engineer, inventor, scientist, artist and entrepreneur, Ed Lantz – Vortex Immersion Media, continues to astound the world with his visionary skills.
Vortex Immersion Media: As an internationally recognized pioneer and leading authority in immersive experiences for mega-size audiences, Vortex Dome LA stands among Ed Lantz’s many accomplishments. Ed is also, an active board member with the Center for Conscious Creativity.

360 Projection: Pacific Domes & Vortex Immersion
“Our Complete 360° VR Projection Domes are dedicated to the advancement of Highly Immersive Virtual Environments for Entertainment and Education.” ― Pacific Domes, Inc.
Uplevel Your Audience Experience
With old technology, people experienced VR in isolation. You strap on a headset and headphones and are instantly transported into a virtual environment – but wait, doesn’t this disconnect you from the people around you? Isn’t it much like dancing by yourself… not much fun, right?
In a 360° VR dome environment, your audience is right smack in the middle of the story. This involves use of one’s natural and real senses. And, the best part is that your audience remains captivated and engaged during the entire immersive and interactive experience.
Example: An award-winning leader in VR Projection, you’ll find Pacific Domes at such mega events as the Coachella Music Festival to name just one. The Antarctic Dome at Coachella ― Obscura Digital (1:26 min.)
