A 360° space drops into a browser on a Chromebook. An inflatable dome unfurls in a school gym. A classroom in Pawtucket walks the same mercado as a community center in Puebla. Honest scope, civic roots, no headsets required.
Each preset in Surface Forge ships calibrated for a specific space — so a teacher in Orlando and a community organizer in Puebla open the same content into the room they actually have.
Single-projector fisheye for portable inflatable domes. Sets up in a school gym in 30 minutes. Ships with auto-edge-blend, audience seating estimate, and dome ring lighting cues.
For libraries and community centers without dedicated gym space. Smaller cohort (12–18 people), lower projection resolution, but identical content pipeline.
Walls + floor + audience-facing screens. Built for the rooms where neighborhoods meet — community halls, youth centers, NIYC-style spaces. Includes audio for ring of speakers.
Pop-in cart for floor educators. Touchscreen + tablet driver + projection wall. Designed to slot inside an existing museum's exhibit infrastructure without IT lift.
Same content. Browser-only. Works on a fifth-grader's school-issued device. Quiet bandwidth (HLS adaptive), no install, no app, no headset.
Each pilot ships with a facilitator's brief, age-banded discussion prompts, and a consent / provenance summary you can share with parents. Civic Designers brings the practice.
For schools, libraries, and community centers. Final pricing depends on travel, dome size, dwell time, and content licensing. We'll talk through your space first.
