Red Dot Digital Media Helps Visitors Take an Immersive "Dive" Through the Oceans

A look up at the projected images of the ocean at IMMERSED: Ocean Wonders.

IMMERSED: Ocean Wonders is a recently opened moviegoing experience on Catalina Island, an overnight tourist destination off the coast of Southern California. To bring visitors on an immersive dive to the ocean's depths, underwater filmmaker Mark Davidson turned to Red Dot Digital Media to bring the show to life. 

IMMERSED: Ocean Wonders takes visitors on a 30-minute virtual “dive” through the world’s oceans. Viewers explore Catalina’s lush kelp forests, get up close and personal with majestic whale sharks, soaring oceanic manta rays, inquisitive bull sharks, mesmerizing bait balls, playful dolphins and sea lions, and even a rare dugong. The entire experience was filmed underwater in full 360-degree 8K resolution, capturing every moment from all angles. The footage is projected onto a domed screen that surrounds the audience, set to contemporary music with informative narration to complement the visuals.
