This event sees The Orb Lounge, a 360° Full Dome immersive cinema makes its first Sydney appearance at Earth Festival 2008.
The Orb Lounge will be easy to spot on the day; it stands at 13 metres in diameter and seats 25 people. There will be a range of 30-minute nature and science-inspired films being shown, in 40-minute intervals. Seating is limited, so bookings are required on the day.
The interior of the dome surface is filled with real-time animations, live capture images and virtual environments.
