360 Degree Climate Dome
Multi-sensory immersive experience installation with VR goggles
Experience the seemingly unstoppable climate change firsthand – made possible by the climate dome of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Groups of up to 12 visitors immerse themselves in a virtual world of experience. And they deal intensively with the global consequences of global warming.
Mobile virtual reality installation
The mobile VR installation was designed for use at trade fairs. Inside the walk-in dome, guests experience a five-minute 360-degree journey to Madagascar – one of the countries particularly hard hit by climate change. Wearing VR glasses, visitors move freely through the environment. They see and hear how local people cope with heat, drought, and changing living conditions. At the same time, real sensory impressions are added. Dry, warm air in the steppe. Cool sea breezes on the coast. Smells of dusty soil, herds of cattle, or salty fish. The result is an immersive group experience that combines information and emotion.
Multisensory technology from Garamantis
At the center of the climate dome is a “climate tower” developed by Garamantis. It generates wind, heat, and smells in sync with the film. This makes the virtual reality physically tangible. The 360-degree film runs synchronously on several VR headsets and is controlled by a presenter using a tablet. Visitors sit on swivel stools and can choose their own perspective. This creates a shared but individual experience in the room.
Collaboration with Super an der Spree
The multisensory format was designed and implemented on behalf of the BMZ by the agency Super an der Spree. Garamantis was responsible for the technical implementation of the sensory components and their integration into the overall experience. The film was produced specifically in Madagascar with special cameras and edited for the climate dome. At the premiere at the IdeenExpo in Hanover, long queues formed at the BMZ stand. Further uses and new content are planned. The Climate Dome shows how complex global issues can be communicated in an understandable and sustainable way through interactive room installations.

Again, the technical realization of the 360-degree climate dome for the BMZ was super with Garamantis. Technically, qualitatively, innovatively and
