IMERSA Inc. is a non-profit business league whose roots are deeply embedded in the rise of the digital planetarium (fulldome). Incorporated in 2008, their founding sponsors initiated ongoing research and development programs in search of standards and guidelines for Fulldome production and technologies. In the past two decades they have witnessed a dramatic convergence of technologies and techniques under the dome and in exotic immersive environments, fueled by innovations in virtual reality, numerical simulation, 360 cinema and immersive performance arts.

IMERSA embraces many forms of digital immersion, including Planetariums, Giant Screen Cinema, VR headsets, and spherical environments. Encouraging members to develop experiential programming from many fields of scientific research, from nanotechnology to neuroscience and astrophysics. IMERSA raises the profile of group immersive experiences and represents its members at a number of international events. In addition to facilitating the development of fulldome standards, our leadership team fosters professional development, aggregation of business metrics, and the dissemination of “white paper” reports on best practices and techniques.
