Taiwan's Taipei Astronomical Museum (TAM) has opened its new-look planetarium, which now features a Fidelity Black fulldome system supplied by UK-based Global Immersion.
The new attraction comprises 12 Zorro projectors from Rockwell Collins and also acts as an Omnimax venue due to its status as one of the largest dome theatres in Asia.
Global Immersion worked with Taiwan-based Dacoms Technology Co in the initial stage of the scheme, which has maintained the multi-purpose venue's two existing display systems.
The new digital fulldome system has helped to increase the theatre's flexibility and can allow three separate media programmes to "immerse and engage" visitors to the planetarium.
Global Immersion senior project manager Tony Scott, who led the project, said: "Taipei Astronomical Museum is another prime example of a client of ours who is seeking to transition their immersive space into the next generation of astronomy and science education.
"While the new hardware configuration produces unrivalled performance, what matters most is the truly incredible experience this digital theater system will offer audiences."
