We brought these innovators for our second virtual IMERSA Day event at 10am MDT, April 30th 2021.
88 participants joined us for an IMERSA Master Class in the history and techniques of immersive filmmaking on February 19, 2021. Our presenter was accomplished filmmaker Douglas H. Trumbull, who joined from his Massachusetts studios. We featured a selection from his 2018 IMERSA presentation, plus live commentary by Doug and a real-time Q&A session with attendees.
For many years, our colleagues in the Sky-Skan universe have made major contributions to the domed theater community.
They’ve helped lead the way with innovations in projection automation systems and fulldome theater technology, software, and development of theater and other standards. In addition, Sky-Skan has been a major supporter of IMERSA over the years, for which we are very grateful.
