Among its most recent ventures was at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History<\/a>, where in December 2024 Cosm helped convert the Texas museum\u2019s decommissioned Omni IMAX theater into a 360-degree immersive dome, complete with 12,000 LED panels. This dome hosts all sorts of content, from Cosm-produced films to various educational programs for all ages; that same zoom-out-to-the-entire-universe feature I saw at my demo is a regular part of programming, for instance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t just function as a regular screen. It can sort of be anything and do anything,\u201d says Nikki Diller, VP of collections, interpretations, and programs for the museum. \u201cPeople say the sky is the limit. I say the known universe is the limit, because that\u2019s part of what our planetarium software can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like many other entities using the tech, the Fort Worth Museum is still figuring out the best ways to bring it to new audiences. The museum and various other Cosm partners have tried a number of approaches, from live orchestra performances to trivia and karaoke.<\/p>\n

Cosm has also positioned itself as a central hub in the growing immersive entertainment space, one that some refer to broadly as \u201c180 video\u201d\u2014a bit of a misnomer, as many of Cosm\u2019s programs take up much more than 180 degrees in the field of view. Because Cosm has already done all the backend formatting, the platform can serve as a clearing house for content outside the giant dome setting.<\/p>\n

Cosm can easily port its experiences over to VR, for instance. It can also provide ready-made content for smartphone-based \u201cimmersive\u201d experiences where users move their devices around to engage with a 3D space.<\/p>\n
