SOFTWARE USED

"Tour of the Universe" is one of Simex's oldest franchises and to celebrate its anniversary we started developing a brand new movie to take advantage of all the new technology at our disposal today. The goal for this movie is to create a full dome, 180 degree video with motion seats that could be used in screens of all shapes and sizes. Ideally a planetarium screen but as we can render 8k and higher it is possible to crop into the movie and create other aspect ratios to fit any theater screen.

As this project is currently in development, we have created some proof of concept videos to test the product in different theatres and push the limits of what's achievable today. See sample images and video below for a sneak peek!

NOTE: The trailer has a widescreen aspect ratio but the actual content is 180 degree circular dome. Examples of both are below.
