Cosm’s 87-foot dome wraps audiences inside Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory this November, transforming the beloved 1971 classic into a multisensory adventure at venues in Los Angeles and Dallas.
The entertainment tech company launches its second “Shared Reality” cinematic experience November 21, 2025. Following their successful Matrix reimagining, Cosm now promises to immerse families and nostalgic film buffs in Gene Wilder’s whimsical world through 360-degree visuals, synchronized effects, and themed confections.
Cosm’s proprietary dome technology uses over 12,000 LEDs to create 12K+ resolution visuals that surround viewers completely. The partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures, Little Cinema, and MakeMake ensures authentic integration of iconic scenes with real-world sensory elements. While specific confections remain under wraps, the integration promises to make Wonka’s fantastical creations tangible.
