Planetarium domes in the era of VR/AR and other mixed reality experiences

摘要

This poster describes perceptual aspects addressed by virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) applications, and how these mediums reflect on the planetarium dome experience. Human senses are not equal in terms of space, and vision is the only sense capable of escaping Earth's atmosphere. Telescopes extend vision even further. The data comes back to us to be scaled to what we can experience with our body, creating a virtual model that is real, yet can never be realistic.
