World Viewer CMS ® Immersive Projection Domes Content Management Software

Explore the world from different perspectives. Create compelling, evergreen content for your GeoDome with WorldViewer, a powerful engine that enables you to integrate a wide range of sources and applications.

Developed by The Elumenati, LLC.

Versatile tool for content in spherical displays.  WorldViewer is a tool for clients to build and manage GeoDome and immersive content. Content is the most important aspect of any immersive experience, and WorldViewer enables clients to tell their own immersive stories.

WorldViewer is an easy-to-learn Content Management System for your dome or globe. With the WorldComposer content authoring platform, simply save media to your IG (image generating computer) and set up chapter-based presentations – no rendering time or programming skills required.

Audiences can experience your content in docent-led presentations, user-driven interactives, or stand-alone playback mode. It’s easy to create content, and simple to refresh it with new media as it comes online – whether you’re incorporating a science story from the headlines of the day, dropping in 360° video fresh from a location shoot, or previewing new animated content for your client activation.

You can also expand the reach of the content you create and access a library of turnkey content through WorldViewer Stories, the online marketplace for GeoDome clients. The Open Playground platform is an extension of WorldViewer – an advanced operating system that integrates and manages content and applications. A straightforward user interface provides simple, unified control over multiple inputs. Using an certified IG and the WorldViewer Pro add-on, you can bring a suite of third-party applications into your dome – whether your focus is education, enterprise, or entertainment.
