Immersive Display Solutions offers a full range of hard shell domes in a variety of standard sizes for applications that require a permanent installation. Hemispherical domes are fabricated primarily of fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP) using flame-retardant materials that meet local fire codes. Each display is fabricated with a smooth, solid color gel-coat finish for optimal image quality with nominal wall thickness for structural strength. Domes are supplied either as a single-piece unit (1.5-m and 2.0-meter sizes) or molded in individual sections (3.0-m, 4.0-m and 5.0-meter sizes). All domes are inspected and pre-assembled prior to shipping to ensure ease of on-site installation. Domes can be installed through the base flange and/or hung from above through one of the bolt flanges, and all assembly hardware and materials are included with each dome. Installation assistance is recommended for all hard shell domes larger than 3-meters in diameter.

IDSI offers standard sizes including 2-m, 2.5-m, 3-m, 4-m, and 5-meters in diameter, and can also produce custom sizes where the diameter and z-depth of the dome is modified per your specific needs. In addition, domes with a wider horizontal FOV requirement, such as a flight simulator, can be fabricated from existing tooling.
