A dome projection system has been installed in the main hall of the Museum of Victims of Repression in Tashkent, offering visitors a new way to explore Uzbekistan’s history. Instead of a conventional screen, the installation uses the entire inner surface of the dome. The image covers the full dome, creating an immersive 360° panoramic experience. Uzbekistan-based company 3D Mapping Studio contributed to the project by installing nine professional Barco I600-4K15 projectors and configuring the projection system.
The project was carried out as part of the modernisation of the museum, located within the Shahidlar Xotirasi memorial complex. In August 2026, the completion of the museum’s reconstruction, the expansion of its exhibition and the introduction of modern digital technologies were officially announced. Dome projection was one of the solutions introduced to enhance the historical exhibition with video content while making use of the museum’s architectural features.
The engineering team at 3D Mapping Studio was tasked with creating a unified dome projection system in the museum’s main hall. The curved surface of the dome required a carefully planned approach to projector placement, projection coverage and equipment configuration.
The system needed to cover the entire inner surface of the dome, precisely align images from multiple projectors and make the transitions between them virtually invisible. It also had to support the screening of a specially produced historical film in a 360° panoramic format.
The projection mapping installation consists of nine Barco I600-4K15 laser-phosphor DLP projectors, each delivering 14,000 lumens of brightness and 4K resolution.
Eight projectors are mounted on truss structures beneath the dome and directed towards its curved side surfaces. The ninth projector is positioned in the centre of the hall, projecting vertically upwards onto the central section of the dome.
To combine the individual projections into a seamless image, the video engineers performed geometric correction to match the dome’s curvature and applied edge blending in the overlapping projection areas. This configuration makes the boundaries between individual images virtually invisible, allowing the projection to cover the entire inner surface of the dome.
The Barco I600-4K15 was selected to meet the technical requirements of the dome installation. Its high brightness and SuperShift technology enable detailed images to be displayed across a large projection surface. Flexible installation options and a wide range of interchangeable lenses allow the projectors to be positioned at different angles while accommodating the dome’s geometry and projection distances. These features make the I600-4K15 well suited to complex multi-projector installations.
The projection equipment was supplied with technical support from Sound Creations Electronics Trading, an authorised distributor of Barco professional projectors in Central Asia and the Caucasus.
The completed dome projection installation in the museum’s main hall is used to screen a seven-minute historical film dedicated to the memory of the Jadids, members of a Central Asian educational and reform movement, many of whom became victims of political repression.
As Hasan Mukhitdinov, Director of 3D Mapping Studio, explains: “This format places visitors at the centre of the historical narrative.”
The installation has made it possible to incorporate the hall’s architecture into the museum exhibition. The historical film complements the traditional exhibits, while the dome-wide projection offers visitors a new visual perspective on events of the past.
