Did I ever send you the config file? Is it for 0.9.1 or 0.10.2? (slightly different) None of the more recent versions work, although they claim they are...
Recently did the optical design for a small 4m planetarium using the Optoma EH2060 projector, perhaps the best value for money projector for this work at under...
Yes, I like the Optoma a lot, but for only a couple hundred dollars more we now use in our Discovery Domes the Epson 3010, which can quick-change to 3D! So by...
Hi Paul, it's very interesting for me cause I have a 4 m diameter optical planetarium to turn into a digital mirror system. I'd like know where did you find...
... They are all of the same resolution project 1920x1200 although the 1200 might as well be 1080. But this is what one gets when one pays more for projectors,...
... First, the manufacturers specs cannot be relied on. Why should a manufacturer quote on something that they don't think anyone would ever do? In reality the...
... Sure, the MItsubishi ud8400u with standard lens ... rather the higher price end of town. Focuses from about 0.9m away from the mirror. Wide range of zoom...
Does anyone know of a planetarium that is using "kinect technology" ? I was just looking at a YouTube video of a kinect with Windows 7. Check this out: ...
Hi, all. Loch Ness Productions is pleased to welcome the California Academy of Sciences to our growing list of fulldome producers whose shows we now...
... No, but we have dabbled. As it happens the kinect is quite easy to connect to other computers, not just Windows. I developed a spherical panorama...
In Bangalore I presented a session to content developers and those new to fulldome. The slides can be found here http://paulbourke.net/papers/bangalore2012/ ...
We have been demoing WorldWide Telescope with Kinect for over a year now. It can be a wonderful navigation experience with gestures and voice. Everywhere we...
... Really? I haven't come across any yet. I have experienced another supposedly "interactive" audience voting system from a Canadian company ... highly...
Hi excuse me for my poor enghlish. a question. I want some information about mirror projection of Laupheim planetarium . they use a mirror based system than...
Hello from Cosmodome, Yes - one of the main advantages of the mirror projection system is the projection equipment does not occupy valuable audience space in...
... I wasn't personally onsite for that, only advised remotely. It was an unusual choice for projector placement compared to the usual position of the mirror...
Hi Is any facility that use mirror systems with a tilted dome? Beside, is any company that sell projection screens aside Spitz or Astrotec? Or any cheaper...
... There is no optical reason why it cannot be used with a tilted dome. The main thing to watch is whether the data projector is rated for tilted operation,...
Hi. Curious to know if anyone has messed with folding the light path (multiple mirrors, I assume) to keep a project in a safe horizontal position while...
... I've done two tilted domes. The first was tilted only 15 degrees so I used the normal projector - mirror geometry and just tilted the rig. The other was...
... Of course I meant 'convex,' that was my dyslexia coming out to play. But, of course you've thought about concave mirrors; that's Paul coming out to...
