Projectors, using solid-state ReaLED light source technology, are being used for the projection of an immersive film in a dome of 6 metre.

California Academy of Sciences Dome

The DLP FL32 projectors of the Norwegian Projectiondesign of Norway have been chosen by the California Academy of Sciences for use in the exhibition Earthquake (Earthquake).

Projectors, using solid-state ReaLED light source technology, are being used for the screening of an immersive film of 3 minutes inside a dome of 6 metre. This montage shows concepts of geological time (Plate movements over millions of the year) and human time (Seismic activity, specifically in the San Francisco Bay Area).

Projectors seamlessly cover the entire dome with images from 7thSense Delta media servers, and Scalable Display Technologies processing and alignment technology.

Visual Acuity acted as an independent technology consultant on the project, effectively repeating the role the company plays in the original design of the Academy's planetarium. System integration was performed by local systems company BBI Engineering.
Projectiondesign has already supplied its projectors to the Academy for the Morrison Planetarium, The exhibition Water Planet as well as for an advanced visualization studio.
