We encourage all who are interested in VR to join SOVREN and be part of a vibrant community committed to advancing VR engineering and shaping the immersive experiences of tomorrow.

CiniVista, LLC is proud to be a founding Member of SOVREN™.  Together we invite every artist to elevate their craft and to push the limits of immersive visuals and sound to a level that has not been previously possible.  Our VistaDome™ VR auditoriums will be the first to implement SOVREN’s™ new motion picture format, PanaMaxVR™.  CiniVista not only supports SOVREN’s mission to advance VR engineering but also fosters collaboration across the industry. CiniVista is working hand-in-hand with SOVREN to validate and refine PanaMaxVR™ ensuring it meets the highest standards for both creators and audiences. This collaboration encourages knowledge sharing, professional development, and the establishment of best practices that will benefit the entire VR community.

SOVREN’s™ first standard (currently under development with CiniVista) is the immersive realm of PanaMaxVR™. It is the new VR motion picture format specifically for cinemas, restaurants, specialty venues and home theaters. PanaMaxVR™ is where VR storytelling transcends all previous conventional mediums, while being backward compatible with all older motion picture formats.  No longer will filmmakers be restricted to a flat rectangle to tell their stories. Instead, PanaMaxVR™ in a new standard that will enable breathtaking 180º and 360º visuals to envelop the viewer’s senses from every direction (without goggles). PanaMaxVR™ will offer a standard for today’s most imaginative artists, directors and filmmakers to create a greatly enhanced palette of cinematic tools to elicit deep, authentic emotions from their audience.
