A brand new hybrid planetarium system at Seoul Science Park (South Korea), which opened in April, combines an opto-mechanical star projector and digital projection know-how managed by Zeiss Uniview software program. The Zeiss Asterion Starball, the corporate’s newest model of a star projector is used as an analog part for a near-natural depiction of the starry evening sky. Two Zeiss Velvet LED projectors complement the hybrid system with digital 360-degree fulldome projection.

The Starball has been for expanded for the Korean buyer to incorporate a raise for reducing the Starball from the centre of the 11m dome and is supplied with a scintillation machine, which causes the celebrities to twinkle in response to a management command, comparable as they do in nature by power of atmospheric influences. The Starball has changed the 30-year-old Zeiss M1015 star projector on the web site.

Deuk-Sil Jeong, vice chairman of the power, was happy with the brand new set up: “With the new planetarium technology, visitors to the planetarium at Seoul Science Park can enjoy a ‘perfect’ night,” he stated. “The Zeiss Uniview planetarium software offers accurate and vivid astronomical visualisations.
