ADLIP - All-Dome Laser Image Projection

Let everybody experience scientific progress
Visualization is a future-oriented subject. Images become increasingly more important as science and technology advance. This is true for all fields of knowledge – from genetic research to astronomy. Monitors, video projectors, and even caves restrict communication to a few people at a time. Shouldn't, however, as many people as possible be given the chance to see and understand new discoveries and developments?

The dome as a variable image space
For more than 80 years, planetariums have used hemispherical domes for star projection. They can be taken as a model of future visualization – images filling a space. Surrounded by a projected image extending over 360 by 180 degrees, the viewer is immersed in a simulated space.

All-dome projection
All-dome projection is a medium providing all-new capabilities:

• microworlds are magnified,
• macroworlds demagnified,
• the invisible becomes visible,
• processes too speedy to be seen are slowed down,
• movements too slow to be watched are accelerated,
• concepts, ideas and myths become tangible,
• and art is offered a new field of activity.

Whether computer animations, simulations or live images: projected to the dome, they expand the reach and efficiency of communication.
