Bristol Data Dome launches this autumn

The Bristol Data Dome, housed inside At-Bristol Science Centre’s Planetarium, will be launched next week [Wednesday 18 November] as part of the Festival of the Future City.

Connected to a dedicated high performance computer at the University of Bristol, the Data Dome is a pioneering development on Bristol’s digital scene with the potential of visualising real-time data in a truly distinctive environment.

At-Bristol’s Planetarium is the UK’s only 3D space capable of showing crisp 4K resolution and audiences will have the opportunity to see a variety of content from earth sciences, open-data, to sociological mapping as well as a an experimental dome game in this format.

Paul Wilson, Managing Director of Bristol Is Open, said: "The launch of the Bristol Data Dome is integral to Bristol Is Open’s aim of creating an open programmable city region and firmly places Bristol at the forefront of digital innovation.

"We hope that the range of content on display will show audiences the potential of this space and the cutting-edge technology available, which really brings the data to life."

The show will demonstrate how new technologies can be used to visualise the city and how the Data Dome could lead the way towards innovation in gaming, learning and citizen engagement.

The Data Dome will also be available for hire to enliven events for companies, organisations and individuals looking to use this unique immersive facility to take their audience engagement to the next level.
