Limitless possibilities.

Vuo is incredibly flexible. Besides working with domes, you can do projection mapping, view 360° video, convert video between different projections, and more.

Vuo community member Paul Bourke used Vuo for an outdoor dome installation in Mandurah, Australia. “Unlike a normal dome the audience is on the outside of the dome and the interior contains the projection equipment,” he explained. Using Vuo, Paul blended the output of two projectors with spherical mirrors, creating a seamless image around the dome.
