From FullDome to VR-Video - Cinematic Virtual Reality
Completely submerging in an illusion is an ancient goal of humanity and art.

Best of VR-Art
Prof. Rotraut Pape, Thomas Bannier, Nikolas Gebbe (HfG Offenbach)
Prof. Rotraut Pape, Thomas Bannier und Nikolas Gebbe of Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach (HfG) present a "Best of VR art" short film and art program by students of the HfG (University of Art and Design) and the roots and innovative possibilities of cinematographic VR films. Six parallel stations focus on the development of expansive, immersive films from the direction of 360° Fulldome films, which has been researched and practically realized at the HfG art academy since 2007. Screened for the first time at the annual Fulldomefestival in Jena since 2007, these works subsequently caused a sensation around the world, highlighting HfG as the nucleus of research on immersion.
