Introduction to Dome Projection and Immersive Content
February 5 – 11 2026, 10 AM – 6 PM, IST Time
12 chapters at 3 hours in English language – in person
This course is not suited for Beginners!
This seven-day workshop, led by Simon Rydén (aka Supermarket Sallad), introduces participants to the creation of immersive content for dome environments using TouchDesigner. Designed for artists, designers, and creative technologists, the course provides a comprehensive foundation for exploring the unique artistic and technical challenges of dome projection.
Participants will learn to navigate the creative possibilities of dome geometry and projection systems, developing skills in both 2D and 3D content pipelines. Through hands-on exercises and project-based guidance, students will gain confidence in adapting their work to hemispherical displays, understanding the differences from traditional flat-screen formats, and applying pre-visualization strategies to their projects.
The course emphasizes practical, project-driven learning. Participants will develop their own dome scenes, experimenting with animation, real-time content optimization, and techniques specific to immersive environments. Guidance and feedback from Simon will support the creative process, ensuring that each project progresses from concept to presentation-ready work.
By the end of the course, participants will have a solid understanding of dome projection principles, practical experience with immersive content creation, and the tools to continue developing their own dome-based projects. Whether your goal is to create immersive performances, generative visuals, or interactive experiences, this course equips you with both the conceptual framework and hands-on skills to bring your ideas to life.
