Hard Shell Displays

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 and cylindrical displays 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-, 2-m and 3-meter sizes) or molded in individual sections (3-m, 4-m, and larger sizes). All domes are inspected and pre-assembled in our QC facility 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.  All assembly hardware and materials are included with each dome. Installation assistance is recommended for all hard shell domes that are molded in multiple sections.

Fiberglass on-site “finishing” services are available for all IDSI displays, and includes assembly of the display, precision alignment, seam filling, seam sanding, priming all surfaces, and multiple coats of final finish coat.  Finish coating can be custom formulated to provide a wide range of screen gains to meet the requirements of different applications and projector brightness’s.

Benefits:

  • Ideal for permanent or semi-permanent installations
  • Provides a seamless display surface for optimal image quality
  • Constructed from a range of materials including hard plastic (ABS), fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP), and gypsum reinforced polyester (GRP)
  • Carbon fiber domes are also available for high kinetic energy motion platform applications
  • Larger sized domes are supplied in flanged sections for precise and easy assembly on-site

Standard sizes include the 2-m, 2.5-m, 3-m, 4-m, and 5-meter (diameter) hemispherical domes and IDSI can also produce custom sizes and shapes where the shape, diameter and field-of-view of the dome is modified per your specific needs.
