Longwave builds immersive 360° spaces out of what a community actually lives — its voices, its places, its memory. From a phone in your hand to a planetarium ceiling. From a street corner in the Delta to a mercado in Puebla to a gathering in Berlin. Carried live.
We make spaces that hold the stories communities are already living. We carry the voices. We build the tools that let communities carry their own.
Singular, hand-crafted 360° environments — real people, real places, real time. Each one a document, not a simulation. Each one something a classroom, a museum, or a community center can actually open.
360 Studio lets multiple facilitators shape a spatial story together in real time. Voice. Video. Journals. Spatial audio. Made for community groups, not developers.
The same space opens on a fifth-grader's phone and projects across a sixty-foot planetarium ceiling. Same signal, different reach. That's the whole point of a longwave.
Each environment is an original capture — real place, real voices, real lived experience. Threaded together by Asili, our interpretive intelligence layer, so a story in the Delta can speak to a story in Puebla, and a question asked in Berlin in 2006 can meet a response in 2026.
The toolkit that carries it. The people it's built for. The collaborators who built it. Pick your door.
The spatial web is being built right now — mostly without us.
Apple, Meta, and Google are scanning every street and every room to build their version of spatial reality. Communities are the backdrop. Their neighborhoods become someone else's infrastructure.
Longwave is a counter-claim. A 360° capture made by or with a community is not a scan — it's a document. It carries the evidentiary weight of a photograph. It says: this was real, these people stood here, this is what it looked like from the inside.
When neighborhoods get redeveloped, displaced, or erased — these spaces remain.
The planetariums and traveling domes in your community library, children's school, or science center have almost no content that isn't astronomy. Longwave brings culturally-rooted, community-authored fulldome experiences — a neighborhood in the Delta, a mercado in Puebla, a global gathering of voices on the future of democracy. Facilitated. Curriculum-aligned. Ready to book.
We partner with planetariums from Rhode Island to Colorado. We submit to Dome Fest West. We license to school systems. We'll bring our own projection rig if you bring the dome.
A teacher. A planetarium director. A community organizer. A museum. A funder. Curious. We want the conversation — wherever you are on the map.
