Spectacular dome projection to celebrate 100 years of Reinhausen

A century of innovation calls for an anniversary celebration that is just as forward-looking and impressive. To mark Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen’s proud anniversary, we at AVMS GmbH had the privilege of creating a visual experience that will remain in guests’ memories for a long time to come. At the heart of this extraordinary event was a spectacular 360-degree dome projection that transformed the entire space into an immersive brand experience. With a wealth of technical expertise, state-of-the-art equipment, and a great deal of passion, we delivered a tailor-made solution that met the high standards of this historic milestone in every respect.

Precise edge blending in the dome projection

Creating a seamless image surface within a domed ceiling is one of the most challenging aspects of modern event technology. Unlike flat screens, dome projection requires highly complex geometric correction of the image content. To perfect the immersive effect for Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen’s anniversary, we relied on high-performance large-format projectors that were strategically positioned throughout the room. These high-performance projectors not only delivered the brightness needed to cut through the rest of the lighting design but also provided brilliant color reproduction for razor-sharp images.

The real secret behind the optical illusion of a single, gigantic screen is a technique known as “edge blending.” With this technique, the projection cones of the individual large-format projectors overlap at the edges. High-performance media servers calculate these overlap zones in real time, adjust the brightness levels with pixel-level precision, and correct the image so that it conforms exactly to the curvature of the dome. The result is a completely seamless projection surface with no visible transitions, edges, or variations in brightness, which literally draws the viewer into the action.

The combination of high-resolution media servers and masterfully calibrated edge blending required absolute precision during the preparation phase. Our technicians spent hours adjusting the virtual masks and geometries to the physical characteristics of the dome. Even the slightest error in the calculations would have disrupted the illusion of the 360-degree projection. But thanks to our decades of experience in media technology, we were able to guarantee a visual quality that completely captivated the audience and perfectly showcased the innovative content from Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen.

All the facts about the spectacular dome projection

When a global market leader like Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen celebrates its centennial, the technical execution must be absolutely flawless and of the highest caliber. The media technology deployed was at the heart of the production and transformed a classic event venue into a futuristic experience center. The interplay of hardware and software created a sense of space that blurred the boundaries between reality and digital projection. Such immersive experiences are now the gold standard in modern event technology and underscore the innovative strength of the celebrating company.

To give you a quick and detailed overview of the technical and conceptual highlights of this fascinating project, we’ve summarized the key facts. Here are the six key factors that made this event so unique:

• Occasion: A celebratory production marking the 100th anniversary of Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen.
• Concept: Immersive 360-degree dome projection for a spacious and emotionally engaging visual experience.
• Hardware: Strategic use of extremely bright large-format projectors for brilliant, daylight-like image quality.
• Control:High-performance media servers for synchronous, high-resolution, and completely smooth content playback.
• Technology: Millimeter-precise edge blending for seamless image correction across the complex dome geometry.
• Result: A homogeneous, breathtaking visual landscape that enveloped the audience without any visible transitions.

In summary, this project is a prime example of what happens when creative visions meet technical perfection. Our team mastered the challenge of seamlessly executing such a complex dome projection with flying colors. The beaming faces of the guests and the consistently positive feedback are, for us at AVMS, the best proof that the significant technical effort, meticulous planning, and use of state-of-the-art projection technology were well worth it in every respect.

We are incredibly proud to have been part of Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen’s 100th-anniversary celebration and to have supported this historic event with our technology. Projects like these impressively demonstrate how modern media technology can transform spaces and evoke emotions.
