The Volume is pretty cool. A practical version of this that's often overlooked is Oblivion (probably because the plot is naff). The "sky tower" set is physical with 270 degrees of front projection to handle the sky. It would have been a lot harder to convincingly re-create all the optical effects and not worry about what light would look like scattered off glass or other occluding objects. https://www.fdtimes.com/2013/03/29/claudio-miranda-asc-on-oblivion/ https://www.fdtimes.com/2013/03/29/claudio-miranda-asc-on-ob... Another example is the motion simulator/projector setup from First Man, which makes the cockpit and landing sequences look so good. They won best VFX. https://youtu.be/sw57ORTgGG4?si=NjRNt551HJhL_l9k&t=193 https://youtu.be/sw57ORTgGG4?si=NjRNt551HJhL_l9k&t=193 (relevant footage starts around 3:13) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UChwuyWVzsI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UChwuyWVzsI
