The IVT is a transdisciplinary instrument for the manifestation of (im)material and imaginary worlds. The University of Plymouth’s William Day Planetarium (built in 1967) has been reborn as a 35 seat Immersive Vision Theatre (IVT). The ‘Fulldome’ architecture now houses 2 Satellite Modular Laser System (Remote Light Engine) projectors, each fitted with a ‘fisheye‘ lens and driven by customised powerful computers and a 10.1 audio system, to create shared immersive experiences.

The IVT is used for a range of learning, entertainment and research activities, including transdisciplinary teaching, bleeding edge research in modelling and data visualisation. A shared virtual reality… We can fly you to the edge of the observable Universe, through microscopic architectures and nano-landscapes, or immerse you in interactive data-scapes and simulations. We deliver shows for schools, colleges and community groups and can tailor content to specific learning and curricula requirements.
