AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER
Inside a dome, immersive worlds can unfold in every direction, wrapping viewers in a seamless, 360-degree experience. One moment, the curved surface can become a vast cosmic landscape filled with drifting galaxies; the next, it can transform into an underwater realm where schools of glowing fish glide overhead. Domes can simulate ancient cities, abstract art environments, or dreamlike natural scenes, using light, sound, and motion to create the feeling of stepping entirely into another reality. Each world becomes more than a projection—it becomes a place you can inhabit, if only for a moment.
BABY BEATS & SENSES
Beautiful, gently moving images drift across the dome ceiling, engaging and calming babies. Relaxing music creates a soothing atmosphere. Fun nursery rhymes add moments of play and familiarity. Babies explore sensory items through touch and movement. Simple musical instruments encourage early sound discovery. The experience feels calm, magical, and nurturing for both babies and carers.
TODDLER MOVEMENT
In this immersive dome experience, preschool children are gently guided through a series of playful activities that build both fine and gross motor skills while the dome transforms around them with vivid, ever-changing worlds. As they stretch, reach, balance, and hop, the projected environment shifts from enchanted forests to underwater scenes, outer-space adventures, and cosy storybook landscapes—each world designed to match the movement task at hand. During quieter moments, children practise fine motor actions like tracing glowing shapes or “catching” floating stars with their fingers, while soft, animated visuals respond to their gestures. Throughout the session, familiar nursery rhymes fill the dome, with each song triggering a new visual setting that supports the rhythm of the activity, creating a fully integrated, multi-sensory learning journey where movement, music, and imagination come together.
STORYTIME & ICENAI BOOKS
In the immersive dome, stories written and read by the author come vividly to life as the narrative unfolds in a world of breathtaking, wrap-around visuals. As the author’s voice echoes through the space, scenes from the book bloom across the dome, surrounding the audience in colours, characters, and landscapes that move with the rhythm of the tale. Children become part of the story through interactive activities linked to the book—following clues, mimicking characters’ actions, or triggering visual changes with their movements—transforming a simple reading into a rich, multisensory adventure that deepens engagement and sparks imagination.
SCHOOLS
In this immersive dome experience, the KS2 Earth and Space topic comes alive as students find themselves surrounded by sweeping, high-resolution visuals of the Earth, Moon, and solar system, journeying far beyond into distant galaxies. They watch planetary orbits unfold overhead, witness lunar phases in motion, and explore swirling nebulae as if floating through space itself. Alternatively, they can dive into the mesmerising universe of moving mathematical fractals, where colourful, infinitely repeating patterns twist, grow, and transform around them, revealing the hidden geometry of nature. Both pathways turn complex concepts into unforgettable, visually rich adventures that spark curiosity and deepen understanding.
AUTHOR VISITS
An author visit becomes unforgettable when stories are brought to life inside an immersive dome environment. Children are surrounded by images from the book’s pages, enhanced by magical dome graphics linked to the story. This allows them to feel fully immersed rather than simply listening. The author retells the story in a dynamic, engaging way. Fun, interactive activities are included and linked to key moments in the book. It creates a memorable and inspiring experience that brings stories to life.
ADDITIONAL NEEDS & MINDFULNESS
Adults, as well as children, can enjoy the immersive graphics and escape into different worlds inside the dome. The Icenai Dome offers gentle visuals, and calming sounds help reduce stress and anxiety. Adults can relax while learning to play the tongue drum. No musical note reading is needed, only simple numbers. The experience is inclusive, peaceful, and deeply calming.
BIRTHDAY PARTIES
A birthday party in an interactive immersive dome feels like stepping into a celebration filled with light, sound, and creativity. Gentle tongue drum music echoes through the space, creating a calming, magical atmosphere as children explore the shifting visuals around them. Storytimes come alive as characters and scenes swirl overhead, turning each tale into an adventure everyone can share. Films projected across the dome wrap the party in vibrant colours and motion, making every moment feel larger than life. Together, these elements create a one-of-a-kind birthday experience that feels both joyful and unforgettable.

AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER
In an immersive dome environment, the curved surface becomes a window into the universe, surrounding viewers with vivid images and flowing information about Earth, the Moon, our solar system, and the galaxies beyond. Detailed visuals of Earth’s swirling weather systems can fade into close-up views of the Moon’s craters, before sweeping outward past the planets and their moons in a fluid journey through the solar system. As the dome expands into deep space, stars cluster and stretch into distant galaxies, each accompanied by subtle data overlays that help audiences understand scale, motion, and cosmic structure. The result is a breathtaking, all-encompassing experience that turns astronomy into something you can feel as well as see.
STORYTIMES & BOOKS BY NICKY SANDERSON
In an immersive dome, a book read by its author transforms the words on a page into a living, breathing world. As the author’s voice fills the space, scenes unfold across the curved surface characters appear in sweeping motion, settings bloom in rich detail, and emotions ripple through sound and light. The dome becomes a story-world that surrounds the audience, letting them step inside the narrative as it is spoken. With each turn of phrase, and activities linked to the book, the author guides viewers deeper into the tale, making the act of reading feel magical, immediate, and vividly alive.
