18-Meter-Diameter Science Dome Tent

Project Introduction

This project is an 18-meter-diameter science dome tent for a local science and technology museum/educational institution/nature exploration base, which is used to carry out immersive teaching activities, such as temporary astronomy exhibitions, ecological science popularization and VR interactive experience. The dome structure is made of high-strength lightweight membrane, combined with multimedia equipment, to create a large-scale science popularization space that can be moved and reused.

Client’s Requirements

The client wants to build a temporary science popularization space that can be deployed quickly and has an immersive experience effect, and meets the following requirements:

large space, which can accommodate more than 100 people to participate in lectures or interactive activities;

multi-functional use, covering astronomy, ecology, science and technology and other themes of science and technology demonstration;

good audio-visual experience, suitable for the dome screen projection, sound system;

mobile and reusable, suitable for traveling exhibitions or outdoor Gaxtent Solution

Gaxtent Solution

Gaxtent provides customized 18m diameter dome tent total solution for customers, the specific content includes:

Structural design

adopts high-strength aluminum alloy frame and double-layer PVC coated membrane, which has good wind and weather resistance;

dome structure naturally has immersive sense of wrapping, which is very suitable for projection display and VR application;

internal column-free design, with net area of 254m2 , which can be flexibly arranged. The column-free interior design with a net area of 254 square meters allows flexible arrangement of different exhibition areas.

Functional Configuration

Equipped with a dome projection system and surround sound to realize 360° astronomical simulation and ecological film playback;

Reserved VR interactive area to support the installation of somatosensory equipment and AR interactive wall;

Inside the dome, there are “Astronomical Observation”, “Climate Change Experience”, “Earth Ecology Demonstration”, “Earth Ecology Demonstration”, and “Astronomical Observation”. Inside the dome, there are several exhibition areas such as “Astronomy Observation”, “Climate Change Experience”, “Earth Ecology Demonstration”, etc., which can be used for multiple purposes.

Customer Feedback

Customers said that the dome tent not only meets the demand of “immersive and movable” display, but also gets good response in many science popularization occasions. Audience interaction is active and the participation rate is high, which greatly enhances the communication effect and educational value of the exhibition.

“This is the first time we try to use a tent to replace the traditional exhibition hall, and I didn’t expect such a strong sense of experience! The children especially enjoyed looking at the stars and listening to the explanation inside, and many others swept the code on the spot to book the next activity.”

Project Summary

This project used an 18-meter diameter dome tent, which not only excelled in space utilization, structural stability and immersive experience, but also demonstrated Gaxtent’s professional customization capabilities in the field of science education. The size can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, making it ideal for medium-sized temporary exhibitions and interactive events.

It is worth mentioning that Gaxtent can provide a dome tent solution with a maximum diameter of 60 meters, which can accommodate thousands of people to participate in the event at the same time, and is suitable for larger-scale science and technology exhibitions, educational events or brand roadshows, meeting the diversified needs of customers in different scenarios.

As a new type of space carrier integrating visual impact and practical functions, the dome tent is gradually becoming the preferred solution for all kinds of outdoor science popularization and educational displays. Welcome to contact Gaxtent for a one-stop solution to fit your scenario.
