Free standing GRP projection domes and curved screens for Audio Visual media presentations

In kit form for worldwide distribution and DIY site assembly

Design & Display Structures are working closely with the Offshore Simulator Centre to manufacture free standing spherical image projection domes and curved screeens. OSC specialise in providing simulator software systems to allow a variety of critical training, testing and evaluation of realistic ‘full mission’ scenarios which can be customised to support offshore activies ranging from rescue operations to advance offshore installation and salvage operations.

Designed to give 225 and 180 degree vision to the training operator, the image output undergoes manipulation to fit the curved surfaces giving the impression of complete visual immersion within the simulated exercise being undertaken. Different models will be available to suit particular client site configurations, the smallest being 3m diameter.

Following the factory preassembly phase to confirm accurate fit and quality of every segment, each GRP dome will be dismantled into a kit of small parts and packed tightly into crates, complete with simple DIY assembly instructions, ready for shipping worldwide.

The prototype was the culmination of D&D working closely with international designer Joel Mills who carried out final testing in D&D’s south east london factory with a HD projector.

The product, having undergone extensive testing and received approval with huge potential in the simulation and computer gaming industries, is now shipped worldwide and already in operation at sites in Norway, Singapore, Netherlands and Perth Australia.
