Fulldome is the term often associated with video-based planetarium style hemispherical "dome" theaters.
A fulldome theater typically plays 180° angular fisheye content that is stored in a media file called a "domemaster" image projection. It is also possible to use cubic or LatLong/Spherical/Equirectangular image projection footage in a dome theatre.
Rectilinear image projection content can be warped and stretched to fill a fulldome screen as well.
Affordable portable domes can be inflated on-site, or built with module geodesic construction approaches. Portable domes often use a half-spherical mirror based projection approach that can be played back with a warp-mesh control file.
