Course objectives
The course introduces students to the evolution from classical optomechanical planetariums to modern digital spherical projection as one type of immersive media. The main focus, however, is on teaching techniques suitable for the production of programs for spherical projection, i.e., programs in the universal "fulldome" format.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to: - analyze spherical programs according to their preparation method - write a script for a fulldome show - create a simple fulldome show in the Digistar software environment
