Hi all, I just finished reading Ryan Wyatt's message on Dome-L regarding the advantages or disadvantages of full-dome over partial-dome video systems. It was a...
Ryan made some good points. For folks looking at all these technologies I do have a comment to make. If, as a theatre, you don't match your kit to the...
... And went on to present good fiscal arguments for covering only part of the dome with video. I don't dispute her take on the harsh realities of doing...

For those of you who don't read DOME-L, Michael Magee's comment about my post and Alex Barnett's may not make much sense. A full-blown discussion of fulldome...
In response to Ryan's request, here is my posting from Dome-L. It is a few days behind. Now is the time! Time for dreams and time for reality. About 2 weeks...
... Of course ... Forget about film. Not only is it an ungainly and expensive delicate medium, the film (and old fashioned star) projector in the middle of...

Hi Ryan, Thanks for jump starting the fulldome list! Here's my Dome-L posting again that jumps on your case: I've managed to keep quiet through all the recent...

Mark, Hi, I opt for Full Dome Video System. I don't have one - yet - but that terminology seems adequate. It also implies that more than one projector is...

Well now, we have different parameters. I thought only about full dome earlier but we can and should be more inclusive. It seems to me Spitz has a several...
Mickey correctly identified the need for standards. In the process ... First off, we don't have an "SGI system" per se. In addition, I'd say the Rose Center...
Mickey and Ryan bring up the topic of fulldome standards. Spitz has fully supported the discussion of fulldome standards. We opened a standards dialog at IPS...
