By: James T Harding Mar. 14, 2012
The Whidbey GeoDome Project is offering a live, interactive preview of its upcoming "The Earth Portal" exhibit at the 50th anniversary celebration of the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. "The Earth Portal," an inflatable immersive visualization environment, will be featured at the Seattle Center for six months beginning on Earth Day, April 21, 2012.
Immersive digital media environments like the GeoDome are poised to transform education. Complex scientific concepts and information can be visualized in stunningly beautiful ways, enhancing our ecological and cosmological literacy. GeoDome presentations are dynamic and engaging, and young people in particular find this richness and immediacy especially appealing.
The GeoDome is a portable immersive multimedia environment (an inflatable planetarium-25 feet in circumference and 13 feet high) that can provide breath-taking visualizations of a guided tour of the universe, the evolution of life on earth, the unfolding story of humanity, and ecosystemic insights into one's own bioregion.
GeoDome shows are limited to 25 people. There will be three half-hour shows. "The Earth Portal" is March 29, 2012 at 7:00, 7:45 & 8:30 pm in Zech Hall. Tickets $10 Adult, $6 Youth 18 & under. For more information on all events, please visit www.WICAonline.com or call 360.221.8268 – 800/638.7631.
