===== ABOUT THIS FULLDOME PREVIEW =====

Fulldome content is meant to be projected onto a hemispherical dome surface typically found in a planetarium theater. Viewed on a flat screen, the imagery looks curved or warped; when projected using a fisheye lens or spherical mirror equipment, the images look correct.

---- ABOUT VR DOME THEATER SHOWS ----

The VR Dome Theater provides immersive 360° spherical videos -- to desktop screens, portable devices, and VR headsets. Experience the fulldome movies you might see at your local planetarium -- from the comfort of your own chair!

There are thousands of planetarium theaters around the world. Under their domes, audiences take in the sights and sounds of the universe -- stars and galaxies, planets and moons. People learn the ways of science and nature. And they revel in enlightening and entertaining artistic and musical performances. We thought, "How can we provide the same great planetarium cinema theater experience to people's screens, devices, and VR headsets?"

So, in 360° spherical video, we created a virtual dome theater. The seats are in the bottom half of the sphere; above, the dome show plays on the top half -- just like in a real planetarium. You, the viewer, are positioned at the center (the prime location). The seat backs often recline in real planetarium theaters, so you don't have to crane your neck too much to look up at the dome. In the Vera Rubin VR Dome Theater, we tilted the dome forward to compensate, which actually simulates the layout in many real-world tilted dome theaters.
