Turning a Queue Into an Immersive Dome at Korea Science Festival 2026
The Korea Science Festival is the country's flagship public science event. In 2026 it ran in Busan, and the organizers had a problem most popular booths have at this festival: the queue is longer than the demo.
They asked if there was something visitors could walk into while they waited.
What we built
A single MP-D mobile dome, three meters across, set up immediately before the entrance of one of the headline booths. Visitors stepped inside, stood for ninety seconds while immersive science visuals played overhead, and then stepped out into the booth itself.
The dome was reservation-free. You queued, you went in, you came out. The wait became the experience.
Why a mobile dome, not a screen wall
A wall facing the queue would have shown the same content to a hundred people from a hundred different angles. The MP-D dome shows it the way it was meant to be seen: surrounding you, on every side. Three or four visitors at a time, fully inside.
It also solved a logistics problem. Mobile domes break down into transport cases and re-stand in a few hours. For a multi-day festival on a fixed footprint, that mattered.
What visitors experienced
The dome ran a sequence of immersive science visuals, each about ninety seconds. Some loops were calm. Others were dramatic. Parents brought children back in for a second turn. Press teams used the dome shots for festival coverage.
By the third day of the festival, the booth's line stopped feeling like a wait. It felt like part of the program.
Who this is for
Festivals, science centers, education events, and brand activations where the wait itself is a touchpoint. The MP-D rents for the duration of an event, ships and re-stands the same week, and can run any 360-degree content you bring.
If your queue is longer than your demo, the queue can be the demo.
