FullDome 3D Projection – Virtual Visit of the Cerro Gordo Mine at Bishop’s University

Professor Bruno Courtemanche from the Department of Environment, Agriculture and Geography at Bishop’s University, in collaboration with Patrick Pomerleau from Nest Dome Immersion, will showcase the exploration of California’s Cerro Gordo mine through a FullDome 3D Projection on Thursday, September 12th from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Centennial Theatre for the general public.
