    IPS 2026 #3: The Future of Planetariums, Immersive Audio & Fulldome Tech

    Are planetariums stuck in a traditional astronomy loop, or are they ready to become the ultimate hubs for modern entertainment? In the final episode of our special IPS mini-series, we dive deep into the tangible shifts happening under the dome. Forget passive star-gazing, we are talking about breaking traditional space monopolies, utilizing Japanese anime to pack the house with young audiences, and the cutting-edge reality of producing content with 8K VR drones. Plus, we explore how to inject gamification into your programming, and why you don't need a massive budget to master immersive sound if you know how to calibrate acoustics using just your own ears. Tomasz Banyś (Head of Planetarium at EC1 Łódź, Poland) with practical, budget-friendly advice on how to master immersive sound and calibrate dome acoustics using your own ears. Thor Metzinger (Video Producer at Fiske Planetarium, US) on the evolution of fulldome production—from stitched cameras to 8K VR drones—and why shared dome experiences (like the Las Vegas Sphere) will always beat isolated VR headsets. Filip Veselý (CTO & Co-founder of Krutart, Czechia) on why planetariums must break traditional astronomy monopolies and how Japanese anime can attract the next generation of audiences. Ubbo Grassmann (Director of Stuttgart Planetarium, Germany) on introducing gamification and interactivity under the dome, plus his top tips for networking and collaborating within the global planetarium community.

    IPS 2026 #2: Mixed Reality, Shared Domes & The Art of Storytelling

    Can planetariums become the ultimate social spaces for shared VR and live performances? In the final part of our mini-series from the IPS conference, we chat with five guests about why the dome is much more than just a place for astronomy. We explore the transition to LED technology, the magic of mixed-reality concerts, and why putting humor and human connection at the center of dome content is the key to bringing in entirely new audiences. Tobias Jogler (LWL Museum of Natural History, Germany) shares his enthusiasm for the rapid technical progress of the field, from the rise of LED domes to software development. He discusses how planetariums are broadening their focus beyond astronomy to art, architecture, and live concerts, and how they are preparing content for upcoming moon missions. Jenny Shipway (Co-chair of the IPS Education Committee) on her mind-blowing experience with a live VR concert in Japan and how these virtual communities can translate into in-person dome events. Michael Daut (Worlds) on how domes are evolving into multi-purpose community spaces and why shifting towards broader family entertainment and interactive programming is key to attracting new audiences. Balázs Forgács (Mobile planetariums, Hungary) explains the profound impact of storytelling and character development in planetarium shows. He details the rise of 8K and LED technology and explains how mobile and inflatable domes are bringing highly effective educational content directly to schools. Plus, he shares his stunning experience visiting Nagoya, the world's largest planetarium! Martin Fuchs (Creative Director at Planetarium Prague, Czechia), who works with the only LED dome in Europe, talks about the paradigm shift of the dome as a "shared reality" that bridges the gap between flat TVs and isolated VR headsets. He also shares how his visit to Japan inspired him to start developing a brand new, user-driven interactive show!

    IPS 2026 #1: OpenSpace, AI and Outdoors Programming

    What is happening in the world of planetariums today? In this exclusive episode recorded live at the IPS conference, we sit down with leading experts and one passionate young fan to discuss how technology, AI, sound, and interactive outdoor programming are shaping the future of immersive spaces. Christian Theis (Managing Director of Mannheim Planetarium, Germany) shares why live interaction is crucial and how expanding programs outside the dome, through stargazing workshops and solar eclipse events, can engage entirely new audiences. Jonathan Horn (11-year-old astronomy enthusiast, Germany) gives us a refreshing kid's perspective on why anime shows (like Detective Conan and One Piece) are a massive hit in the domes and tells us his secret to the ultimate planetarium experience: taking a good nap during tranquil shows! Lauri Hynninen (Heureka Science center, Finland) dives deep into how artificial intelligence (AI) can speed up a producer's workflow, eliminate repetitive coding, and why his top filmmaking advice is: "Don't try to tell everything in one movie." Markus Schack (Director of Media Dome Kiel, Germany) introduces the game-changing potential of OpenSpace, a powerful, free data-visualization software, and discusses how AI is becoming an efficient tool for pre-production and automated customer service.
