Fulldome Show
Coming in the summer of 2009--Maya Skies.
Maya Skies will be a captivating bi-lingual full-dome
digital planetarium show featuring the scientific achievements,
and the cosmology, of the Maya. Using cutting-edge laser
scanning, photography and computer technology the production
will provide an immersive experience of unprecedented realism,
and a story about real and mythical characters in the Maya
world who practiced astronomy with precision and purpose.
This show will debut at Chabot and at Planetario Luis Enrique
Erro in Mexico City, and then will travel to planetariums
across the United States and in Latin America.
Currently underway:
Staff from Chabot and from the Institute for Study and
Integration of Graphical Heritage Techniques (INSIGHT) returned
from the Yucatán, Mexico having gathered the raw data needed
to create this unique show that will incorporate sky scenes,
animations and computer-generated reconstructions of Maya
temples. Production is underway at ARTSLab in Albuquerque,
New Mexico, at INSIGHT in Emeryville, California, and at
Chabot in Oakland, California.
