Brand Activation Domes — Pioneer Since 1999
The World’s Original
Brand Activation Dome
Absolute Hollywood pioneered portable projection domes in 1999 — and has built brand activation domes for Fortune 500 launches, Olympic ceremonies, and government events across 33+ countries. From 20-foot brand activation domes to the 235-foot Celestial, every structure is engineered in-house and deployable without cranes. We continue to push the envelope while others follow.
Brand Activation Domes | World-Class Events Since 1999
Absolute Hollywood invented the portable projection dome in 1999 — 27 years on, we continue to pioneer while others follow. From inflatable dome rental for intimate 20-foot brand activations to the largest portable domes on earth, our brand activation domes have been deployed at Super Bowl XLVI, the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, the Grand Opening of the New Suez Canal, Egypt, the COP15 UN Climate Summit, Copenhagen, and the Marvel Experience (seven interconnected domes across the United States, 2014–2015) — spanning 33+ countries for Microsoft, IBM, Amazon, Coca-Cola, and Fortune 500 brands worldwide.
The large projection dome rental category belongs to Absolute Hollywood — from the 235-foot (72m) Celestial covering 43,373 sq ft to the largest portable projection domes on earth — scaling in stages of 50,000, 100,000, 150,000, up to 200,000 sq ft — for audiences of tens of thousands, in sizes to 900+ ft. No company on earth delivers brand activation domes at this scale. The Las Vegas Sphere opened in 2023 — we launched ours in 1999, 24 years earlier, and staged the first public show in America in Las Vegas in 2000.

World Record Scale
The World’s Largest Portable Projection Dome
Our large projection dome rental is in a category of its own. At 235 feet (72m) in diameter and 43,373 sq ft of clear-span floor space, it holds 8,700+ guests inside a fully immersive 360° inflatable dome environment — seventy times the combined surface area of an IMAX screen. Deployed for the Skrillex activation at the LA Coliseum, the Emirates Aluminium smelter launch in Abu Dhabi, the Beirut Cultural Festival, and Fortune 500 product launches on four continents. Floor space scales in stages — 50,000, 100,000, 150,000, up to 200,000 sq ft, in domes from 20 to 900+ feet — a scale no other portable dome company in the world can legitimately offer. Curious how it compares to the Las Vegas Sphere? We pioneered this technology in 1999, 24 years before the Sphere opened in 2023.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brand Activation Domes
What is a brand activation dome?
A brand activation dome is a fully enclosed inflatable projection dome with 360° interior projection, turning a brand’s environment into the venue itself. Absolute Hollywood invented the portable format in 1999 and builds them from 20 to 900+ feet, engineered in-house and deployable without cranes. Learn more: The Complete Guide →
What is a brand launch event?
A brand launch event introduces a product or identity to press, partners and public in one controlled environment. Inside a brand activation dome the entire 360° surface becomes the launch canvas — Absolute Hollywood has staged launches for Honda in Manchester and Microsoft’s Xbox Kinect at Super Bowl XLVI, February 2012. See the experiential marketing portfolio →
What happens at a product launch event?
Guests move through a staged reveal: arrival, immersive content, product unveil, then hands-on demonstration. A brand activation dome holds all four in one space — the 235-foot Celestial covers 43,373 square feet with 8,700 standing, so the audience never leaves the branded environment. See the large projection dome rental →
How do you host a product launch event?
Choose a footprint, then a content plan. Absolute Hollywood surveys the site, installs the structure without cranes, and produces the 360° film in-house. The Galactic projection dome rental series covers 65 to 160+ feet in five configurations for mid-scale launches.

From 20-foot domes for intimate activations to the 235-foot (72 meters) Celestial, which covers 43,373 square feet and holds 8,700 standing.

Brand activation domes do corporate and public work alike. Knight Capital staged its Boca Raton investor conference inside a brand activation dome; the Congrès Sopropharm pharmaceutical convention ran in another in Quebec. Four cinespheres floated the central lagoon at Universal Studios Florida for Universal 360: A Cinesphere Spectacular, 2006 to 2011, and a 200-foot dome hosted a royal wedding in Doha. Every brand activation dome installs without cranes and leaves the site as it found it. See how brand activation domes work →
Entertainment, Retail and Public Sectors
Life Size Snow Globes — Two World Firsts, Both Ahead of the Field
A snow globe is a brand activation at walk-in scale — built and crewed by the same team behind our brand activation domes.
Absolute Hollywood invented the life size snow globe in 1999 — a walk-in enclosure guests stand inside while snow falls around them. Seven sizes, 8 to 26 ft (2 to 8 m), for Coca-Cola, Disney, MTV and Citibank’s Citi Pond at Bryant Park.
The Airlock Tunnel Entry is the premier model and the only ADA-compliant snow globe on the market — a two-door tunnel holds the globe inflated while guests walk in and out, giving 4× to 10× the throughput of a zippered entry, with ground-level wheelchair access as standard and no weight limits.
The Zipper Entry giant snow globe — the world’s first Pro-Series walk-in globe, 1999 — suits rapid deployment where a tunnel is not required. Both models are available as an inflatable snow globe rental.
