The study text defines the concept of immersive media and provides an overview of individual types, which are also related to the gradual development of technologies and new media. It presents almost a century of development of spherical projection technologies from the first projection planetarium to a fully digital stereoscopic spherical projection (on the hemisphere or on the whole sphere). The possible thematic and genre focus of programs for spherical projection is mentioned, as well as its appropriate use for science communication. The section on stereoscopy describes the principle of spatial vision and ways to create a visual illusion of three-dimensional space from two-dimensional images. Stereoscopy is divided into active and passive, so the existing technical solutions of both of these groups are described. In the next part, the text deals with variants of stereoscopic projection on a flat projection surface and on the hemisphere. The choice of suitable and attractive content of stereoscopic projection and the educational benefit for the audience are briefly discussed.
