Easily the Best Educational Planetarium
Intuitive Show Control
Spitz, Inc. presents SciDome, a fulldome digital planetarium combining real-time astronomy, pre-recorded
fulldome shows and classical planetarium special-effects. Designed specifically for educators, SciDome
offers unparalleled teaching capabilities and the flexibility of a desktop planetarium. Never before has such
a powerful system been as easy to use. SciDome is recommended for domes up to 45 feet (13 meters).
SciDome provides the best possible control system for teaching, presentation and
show automation. The intuitively designed user interface puts powerful control at
the operator’s fingertips. All commands are executed graphically. The presenter
can change views of the sky, display constellations and coordinates, find sky objects
and even fly through space just by clicking icons on the control screen. No scripting
is required, allowing educators to concentrate on astronomy, not a complex commandline interface.
Unmatched Educational Capabilities
For over 60 years, Spitz has focused on products for planetarium education.
Spitz continues this tradition with SciDome, powered by Starry Night TM Dome.
SciDome includes Starry Night High School and Starry Night Middle School
software and teachers guides. Classroom exercises and lessons are integrated
into Starry Night Dome.
Because it’s compatible with desktop versions of Starry Night, instructors and
educators can develop lessons, activities and assignments anywhere - at home,
in the classroom or on the road. SciDome’s versatility makes it an ideal system
for multi-disciplinary courses and subjects.
The Spitz Fulldome Space Library features dozens of realistic computer-graphic astronomy animations
The easy-to-use controls allow non-astronomers and novice presenters to learn
Starry Night Dome quickly. Students, teachers and visitors can instantly explore,
present and create memorable astronomy experiences.
Spitz’ growing library of fulldome shows includes
DarkStar Adventure, Legends of the Night Sky,
Oasis in Space and more.
