Why Build an Immersive Studio?

Dedicated home theaters cost $20,000–$50,000 for a room conversion. Soundproofing a garage runs $5,000–$15,000. Neither option moves with you. The Immosphere is a sound-dampened entertainment pod you build from standard lumber — VR-ready, fully mobile, under $7,000 in materials.

Why Immosphere?

Sound-Dampened Environment

Acoustic insulation and sealed construction create an immersive space. VR, theater, music — no outside noise, no sound leakage.

VR & Theater Ready

Open interior, cable management, and ventilation designed for extended sessions with headsets, projectors, or surround sound.

Build It, Move It

Same modular system, same mobility. Your entertainment space isn’t tied to one address.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The interior comfortably accommodates a 120-inch projector screen or multiple large displays. The curved walls actually enhance the viewing angle. Seating for 2-4 people depending on your layout preference.
The double-shell geodesic construction with mineral wool insulation creates excellent sound isolation. Gaming sessions, movie nights, and music practice stay inside. Your neighbors will thank you.
The interior provides enough clearance for room-scale VR with most headsets. The geodesic geometry gives you usable space right to the walls at standing height. The handbook includes a VR-optimized layout guide.
Gaming PCs and projectors generate significant heat. We recommend a mini-split HVAC unit (5,000-8,000 BTU) for active cooling. The handbook includes ventilation routing that keeps electronics cool without adding noise to your space.
Yes. The Immosphere fits in a standard parking space (9 x 18 ft). Caster-mounted foundation means no permanent installation — ideal for renters or small urban yards. Lock the casters once positioned.

OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE


The Thiosphere™ SDK, the foundation to all our products, is open source hardware. In fact, all Thios products are. Specifically the CERN Open Hardware Licence Version 2 - Strongly Reciprocal.

That's a fancy way of saying that if you want to use our design, even for commercial purposes, you have to share your changes with everyone else.
