At the forefront of immersive media technology, Modulo Pi continues to redefine the possibilities of visual storytelling and interactive experiences. As the company prepares to unveil Version 7 of its Modulo Kinetic media server at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026, the anticipation is palpable among professionals in the fulldome and projection mapping communities. Known for pushing the boundaries of real-time video playback and multi-screen projection, Modulo Pi’s latest release promises to elevate the art and science of projection with advanced features tailored for complex and immersive environments.
With a reputation for innovation and meticulous engineering, Modulo Pi’s contribution resonates beyond merely hardware and software; it shapes how creators conceive and deliver immersive content. February 3 to 6, 2026, will showcase these advancements on booth 5F220, where visitors can engage directly with an interactive projection powered by Modulo Kinetic V7, signaling a significant leap forward in media server capabilities.
“Version 7 of Modulo Kinetic will officially debut at ISE. This new release introduces a wide range of features and improvements, including: integration of 3D models for a broad selection of projectors and lenses for projection studies, a more flexible and intuitive user interface to streamline multi-screen setups, a 3D projector auto-calibration module, compatibility with the ISAAC web platform, new tools dedicated to interactivity, and much more.”
This highlights the comprehensive nature of the update, emphasizing user-friendly innovation alongside technical depth. The integration of 3D projector models for detailed projection studies exemplifies the company’s commitment to precision and creative flexibility.
Furthermore, Modulo Pi’s immersive experience at ISE harnesses “2D and 3D LiDAR sensors,” allowing audiences to interact in real time with projections through gestures and movement. This direct interaction leverages Modulo Kinetic’s native 3D engine, built-in effects library, and nodal programming system, showcasing a seamless blend of technology and artistry.
Modulo Pi’s developments in automatic calibration—the capacity for rapid projector alignment using PoE cameras—are also set to transform installation workflows. “Modulo Pi has developed auto-calibration modules that enable automatic projector alignment… the system can automatically compute and adjust projector overlaps and geometric distortion in just a few minutes.” This technical leap is crucial for large-scale domes or multi-projector setups where manual calibration can be laborious and error-prone.
The creative impact of Modulo Pi’s Version 7 unfolds across several dimensions. With real-time interactivity at its core, the platform invites creators to craft environments that respond dynamically to audience input, adding an engaging layer of immersion rarely achievable with conventional media servers. The ability to integrate 3D projector and lens models within the software not only streamlines technical pre-production but also empowers designers to visualize complex projection scenarios with unprecedented accuracy. This is a crucial enhancement for fulldome content creators who must often contend with curved surfaces and multi-projector arrays that require meticulous spatial planning.
Auto-calibration represents a pivotal evolution, reducing time and technical friction so that creators and technicians can focus on the narrative and artistic elements of the show. It echoes a broader trend in immersive technology: blending ease of use with high performance to democratize complex visual setups. Modulo Pi thus joins a select group of companies, alongside heavyweights like Disguise and Green Hippo, that are accelerating the adoption of sophisticated media servers in cinema, live events, and immersive exhibition contexts.
Within the fulldome community, Modulo Pi’s contributions resonate profoundly. Fulldome environments, which demand flawless integration of hardware and software to envelop audiences in seamless visuals, benefit enormously from the precision and flexibility of Modulo Kinetic V7. The interactive, real-time control facilitated by the new version opens exciting possibilities for planetarium shows and immersive educational experiences, where audience engagement enhances learning outcomes.
Moreover, the improved auto-calibration tools can be game-changers for touring domes and festivals—where time constraints and variable venues challenge traditional setup approaches. Modulo Pi’s ongoing collaboration with projection technology partners and presence at major industry events like ISE cements its role as a leading force in the immersive media ecosystem, continuously aiding creators in pushing the boundaries of what fulldome presentations can achieve.
In essence, Version 7 of the Modulo Kinetic media server embodies a harmonious synthesis of technical prowess and creative potential, promising to inspire a new wave of immersive experiences that captivate audiences around the globe. As the fulldome and immersive media landscape evolves, innovations like these will continue to drive artistic expression and audience engagement to thrilling new heights.
