A Unique Space for Creative Innovation
The B-dome, located at RAW Gelände in Berlin, is an innovative venue that allows for immersive projection and the creation of sensory experiences. Equipped with a negative pressure projection system and six Panasonic 21K projectors, the dome offers exceptional visual and sound quality, making it ideal for FullDome presentations.
