Bristol Data Dome is the UK’s first full dome planetarium adapted for the presentation of media and live data. As part of the Bristol is Open project, the dome is intended to be used for visualising complex experiments, creating interactive virtual reality environments and providing individual audience members with their own unique viewpoint. We were commissioned by Future Cities Catapult (the government agency for the use of public data) to create the launch content and media workflow demonstrations to showcase the potential of the space.
