Not only does it provide an unlimited canvas at a quality never before seen, but CX System’s custom-built suite of production tools and real-time rendering engine allows for interactive and customizable cross-disciplinary educational experiences, where the Dorrance DOME can tailor programming to local events and experiences for every guest, group, and field trip that visits for increased audience engagement and interactivity.
