Introducing Discovery Dome Theater, it is more than just a planetarium. It is an experience where education merges with visual and audio technology. Our complete system consists of an inflatable dome, high resolution theater projector system, heart-pounding audio system, PC, and a traveling presenter. Shows are delivered in non-scripted (live presenter) and/or scripted (play back mode). Shows can be adapted for appropriate audience.

Students and teachers have described the experience as a "portable Imax theater"! Let your students experience an adventure in our dome theater.

We use a 180 degree fish-eye lens to create a similar museum dome theater experience to what used to be reserved only for large well-funded science and technology museums. Together with a high resolution LCD projector, we project movies, images, and software simulations onto our spherical dome surface, filling the viewer’s peripheral vision and delivering a convincing virtual reality experience.
