IMERSA / AFDI Dome Standards Group

 

 IMERSA Standards Vision Statement:

 
The absence of standards across the fulldome platform was the inspiration for the founding of the Association of Fulldome Innovators (AFDI) at the IMERSA Summit in 2014. At the first AFDI meeting, representatives from Evans & Sutherland, Sky-Skan, SCISS, and RSA Cosmos came together to discuss standards efforts that all fulldome vendors could implement and adopt, in an effort to find points of commonality where vendors could cooperate rather than just compete, for the strengthening and betterment of the community.
 
The AFDI expanded to include other vendors such as Konica-Minolta, GOTO Inc., Front Pictures, Reef Distribution, D3D, Ohira-Tec, and Zeiss. Working collaboratively, the AFDI team defined and published a number of standards that arepresentedpublished  here.
 
Much of the AFDI’s efforts over the last five years have been focused on developing and implementing a cross-platform encryption standard to protect content from piracy.and at Duringthe same time,we have also workedto incorporate digital rights management features that will enable pay-per-view licenses, limited term licenses based on a number of plays, and reporting features to allow producers to learn how often a show is played in each theater. The AFDI felt it was critical to collaborate to develop one encryption standard for the marketplace in order for encryption to be useful, consistent, and uncomplicated across all vendor platforms.
 
The AFDI continues to explore and advocate new standards with the vendors and producers within our community.
