ABSTRACT
In this work we present a novel design for theater-sized interactive fulldome system, the EONVision Idome. For edutainment, it combines Hollywood style story telling with cutting edge technologies, providing a group of audience the feast of immersive 4D theater experience. For industrial training, the fully immersive and interactive dome delivers real-time VR tutorials for enhanced training experience. Compared with traditional VR training facilities like CAVE and EON Icube, it hosts larger group of trainees for lower training cost per capita, and provides the means to conduct collaborative training with multiple trainees.
