These futuristic structures feature L&F’s ultra-high definition seamless spherical screens that take the traditional planetarium into the modern era. Our domes can be used as temporary or semi-temporary structures which have a broad range of applications from pop-up 360 theaters, to dining experiences, to corporate galas.
L&F projection domes range from as small as 10’ in diameter all the way to 300’ or greater colossal venues to house concerts or immersive trade shows. We offer turn-key projection dome services, handling everything from initial design, through installation, hardware, tech, lighting and the final content that plays on the 360 degree screen.
Transform any occasion into an extraordinary experience by using one of our custom-fit domes for all types of events, large or small. Contact us now!
GEODESIC DOMES
L&F Geodesic Domes are built with a strong steel geodesic frame, covered with a water and light proof vinyl “skin.” These structures are well suited from 10’ up to 120’ and can be installed anywhere from a few hours to a couple days, depending on the size.
These futuristic structures demand attention and invoke guest’s curiosity of what lies within. The shape lends itself perfectly to creating the curved foundation for L&F’s spherical projection liners. These immersive dome venues have a wide array of applications from corporate experiential pop-ups, trade shows, 4d theaters and much more.
Geodesic Domes Sizes and Specs
INFLATABLE DOMES
Our large inflatable domes begin at 100’ and can be made as large as 300’ in diameter or larger. They can be made oblong or circular. They consist of an ultra thick and durable vinyl skin which is anchored or ballasted to the ground and then inflated with industrial strength blowers.
The entire process takes about two weeks to erect depending on the size. The interior of the skin makes for a perfect surface for 360° immersive projection. These can be used for temporary or semi-permanent installations and are well suited for large events, concerts, tradeshows and more.
Inflatable Domes Sizes and Specs
The L&F dome projection system is a network of components that transform the dome into an immersive transport. Every system is custom designed to suit the size and use case of the venue. The elements include:
We bring all of this together to create a seamless, pixel-perfect, 2K to 8K resolution spherical screen. We leverage the power of AI and use a patented auto-alignment system to blend and color match the projectors faster and at a higher fidelity that was previously impossible when projection mapping by hand. Then the main server can control every element and can be easily controlled from a single touch on an iPad.

Design
We start from the ground up, working directly with your creatives to build out your immersive dome to exact scale. The final models are exportable to CAD and able to be used to create overheads and other documents for permitting and code review.
Our team of visual design and rendering experts are available to take your concept and project and work side-by-side to create a to-scale 3D model. Then, we can render photo-realistic stills and animated fly-throughs for your proposals and pitches. To top it off, we can composite the models into pictures or Google Earth scans to drop your idea into the real world. In addition, we are able to create CADs for planning, permitting and fabricating purposes.
Once modeled, we can composite the models into real world photos and google earth scans. We can do this to scale so you know your project will fit within its footprint to create an immersive experience for your guests.

It’s time to learn how an inflatable projection dome takes your event or product launch to the next level!
360 Degrees of Attention with Projection Domes
Your big commercial halls are basically just four white walls, giant ceilings, and maybe some carpets and extras they'll rent you for an additional cost. Even once you've trucked in all of your own equipment and promotional or entertainment materials, your guests are still going to see huge open space above your features. This will leave your guests feeling like wandering around more than paying attention to what's in front of them. And if your event tries to use sound to draw attention in? The high ceilings can ruin the acoustics. Using a 360 dome design, you are in full control of the sound, visibility, and imaging of your event. Creating a truly attention-grabbing atmosphere, a 360 immersive dome will elevate your guests’ experience.
