For information about the audio-visual medium we call the planetarium theater, you've come to a fine starting point.
We love fulldome! Besides the fulldome shows we've created, and the shows we distribute from selected producers, we've compiled a list of practically every other available show too: the Fulldome Show Compendium.
Where do these fulldome movies play? You'll find the locations in our world-wide directory of Fulldome Theaters online.
What about classic theaters? If they've ever licensed a show from us, or have filled out a Compendium Update form, we list them in the Classic Theaters compendium online.
And we have a lengthy list of Dome Theater Resources — links to equipment manufacturers, hardware and software vendors, and more. Happy surfing!
