An interactive experience for the whole family

Cosmonaute 360 is a Mexican project that seeks to generate interest in science through entertainment. This through a series of animated stories dedicated to all the curious minds that dream of exploring the universe, helping others and learning collectively.



With playful activities, the aim is to awaken the children's curiosity prior to a formal class on topics such as astronomy, physics, chemistry or biology.

Families enjoying the first episode of Cosmonaute in its premiere in Lanzarote, 
one of the Canary Islands off the coast of West Africa.



After the screenings of the short films, the audience is invited to answer curious questions to learn together while having fun. Inviting children to start their own research with the support and guidance with their parents or educators. Through a simple dynamic, tutors can start a research process with the children.

FUNDING NEW PROJECTS!
BY GENERATING ACCESS TO PROFESSIONAL TRAINING
TOGETHER WE WILL CREATE MORE MOVIES FOR PLANETARIUMS!



We are launching a campaign to produce more 360 content and educational proposals. Through their support, our community can be part of the development of new episodes, while they learn from our theoretical and practical methods for the production of 3D animation through educational experiences such as training workshops and on-line classes.


With a 360 degree FULL DOME projection we can offer a collective virtual reality experience without the need for cardboards or viewer headsets.

We invite you to visit this page again to know all the details. Our motivation is to propose new ways of educating.

At Dessignare we are continuously developing new methods of interaction for virtual reality, to see what effect different input methods have in education, and what works best for different groups of people.

We love to experiment with video mapping inside domes and planetariums, and what makes the shared experience feel and we are happy to continue developing new interactive play systems.
