What is a Fulldome Projection?

Fulldome projection displays moving images on a 180° or 360° dome surface, completely surrounding the viewer with content. It is mainly used in planetariums, science centers, and immersive theaters.

How Does a Curved Screen Enhance the Viewing Experience?

Curved screens extend into the viewer's peripheral vision, reducing distortion and increasing immersion. This makes visual experiences feel more natural and lifelike, especially in large-scale formats.

What is the Largest Fulldome or Curved LED Installation?

The MSG Sphere in Las Vegas is the largest immersive LED screen in the world, offering 16K resolution and 160,000 speakers. COSM Theaters are also emerging in major cities with similar immersive dome technology.

What Is COSM and Why Is It Important for Immersive Media?

COSM is a new generation of immersive entertainment venues combining massive LED domes, ultra-high-resolution visuals and spatial audio. These theaters are designed specifically for shared, large-scale immersive experiences and are shaping the future of fulldome and giant-screen storytelling.

Where Are Fulldome and Curved Screens Used Today?

They are used in planetariums, branded experiences, immersive exhibitions, art shows, educational installations, and theme parks. Their high-impact visuals create a powerful tool for storytelling and education.

What Resolutions Are Required for Fulldome, LED Domes and Giant Screens?

Fulldome productions typically start at 8K to 12K resolution. Large LED domes and next-generation venues often require 16K or even 18K masters. These formats require precise warping, edge handling and format-specific mastering.

Can 360° or VR Content Be Shown on a Dome or Curved Screen?

Yes. 360° and VR video content can be remapped using a process called fulldome warping to play on dome screens or immersive LED venues. This allows for cross-platform storytelling from a single production.

How Long Does It Take to Produce a Fulldome Film?

A fulldome film production typically takes between 6 and 18 months from concept to delivery, depending on length, complexity and the amount of location filming required. At Avocado360 we guide you through every phase from story development to final dome mastering.

How Much Does a Fulldome Film Production Cost?

Fulldome film productions start from CHF 60,000. A full-length documentary with multiple locations and advanced post-production has no fixed upper limit — complexity, runtime and technical requirements determine the final budget. Contact Avocado360 for a detailed proposal.

What are interactive multimedia web tours?

They are browser-based 360° or panoramic tours that combine video, hotspots, audio, and UI overlays, allowing users to navigate spaces, trigger content, and follow guided storytelling on any device.

Do the tours work on mobile and desktop without installing apps?

Yes, the tours run in modern browsers on mobile and desktop, we optimize loading, compression, and UI for touch and mouse interactions, no app required.

Can we integrate branding, analytics, and e-commerce links?

Yes, we customize the UI and branding, add analytics events, and can link to product pages or booking systems to support measurable outcomes.

Custom Virtual Tour Production

Every tour is built for a specific purpose. Tourism destinations, corporate facilities, museums, exhibitions and onboarding programmes all have different needs. We design accordingly.

Flexible Hosting Solutions

Once your tour is ready you can host it on your own servers or use Avocado360's hosting service. Both options are fully supported.

Hosting with us allows for quick updates and adjustments. Your tour stays current without technical effort on your side.

Enhanced Interactivity

Our tours go beyond basic 360° walkthroughs. Clickable hotspots, embedded videos, audio guides, live guided tours, floor plans, quizzes and multilingual support can all be integrated.

Frequently Asked Questions about Interactive Virtual Tours

What is an Interactive Virtual Tour?

An interactive virtual tour is a digital experience that allows users to navigate a real space remotely. Using 360° photos, embedded videos, hotspots and multimedia content, visitors can explore a location at their own pace from any device.

At Avocado360 we build custom virtual tours for tourism, museums, real estate, corporate facilities and public institutions. Tours created as early as 2012 are still in active use today.

How Can a Virtual Tour Benefit My Business?

A virtual tour lets potential clients, visitors or partners experience your space before they arrive. It increases trust, reduces unnecessary site visits and works around the clock on your website.

For tourism destinations, hotels and cultural institutions it directly increases bookings and engagement. For companies it supports onboarding, sales and corporate communication.

What is the Difference Between an Avocado360 Virtual Tour and Matterport?

Matterport uses 3D scanning technology that produces a mesh model of the space. It is fast to capture but limited in customisation and visual quality.

Avocado360 tours are built on high-resolution photo panoramas captured with the Roundshot VR system. They offer full customisation — your branding, your navigation design, your interactive elements. You can host the tour on your own server or ours. And they last. Our oldest active tours are from 2012.

What Interactive Elements Can Be Added to a Virtual Tour?

Clickable hotspots, embedded videos, audio guides, floor plans, live guided tours, quizzes, multilingual support, password protection and e-commerce integration can all be added.

Every element is designed to serve a purpose. We advise which features make sense for your audience and goals. Not every tour needs every feature.

Can a Virtual Tour Be Embedded on My Website?

Yes. Virtual tours can be embedded directly on any website, shared as a standalone link or displayed on a screen at an exhibition or event. No special software or app is required for visitors to use it.

We handle the technical integration and make sure the tour works across all devices — desktop, mobile and tablet.

How Long Does It Take to Produce a Virtual Tour?

A standard virtual tour takes between 2 and 6 weeks from the photo shoot to delivery. This depends on the size of the space, the number of hotspots and the complexity of the interactive elements.

We plan the shoot carefully to capture everything in one visit wherever possible. Contact us to discuss your project.

How Much Does a Virtual Tour Cost?

Every virtual tour is priced individually based on the size of the space, the number of locations and the interactive features required.

We work with tourism organisations, cultural institutions, companies and public institutions of different sizes. We always find a solution that fits the goals and the budget. Get in touch with us.
