![]() A qualitative holistic singlecase study was used. The aim of this study was to investigate views of middle school teachers who participated with their students in a mobile planetarium activity held in school setting. ![]() ![]() This article introduces digital domes as a new medium, then discusses ways in which the potential of these environments might be tapped in the future to meet scientific and cultural needs in museums of all types. Studies suggest that well-designed immersive mediums communicate concepts better, create a greater interest in learning, and are more effective than a movie screen or television at conveying scientific concepts. Their real-time and rapid-update capabilities set them apart from giant screen cinemas. These “digital domes” are, in essence, immersive visualization environments capable of supporting art and live performances and reproducing archeological sites, as well as journeying audiences through the local cluster of galaxies. Digital planetarium capabilities extend educational and cultural programming far beyond night-sky astronomy. ![]() This trend has far-reaching potential for science centers. Abstract Over the last decade, hundreds of planetariums worldwide have adopted digital “fulldome” projection as their primary projection and presentation medium.
