We’re excited to collaborate with the OpenSpace Project at the Association of Science and Technology Centers Conference – 2022. Join us at booth 1415 to experience NASA-funded OpenSpace software in a GeoDome Portal and, for the first time, on a GeoDome Globe. Visitors will explore critical systems here on Earth and experience the wonder of touring the Universe, all through our WorldViewer interactive interface.
OpenSpace is a visualization and presentation tool that enables live exploration of the known universe, including observed data, models and simulations, recent discoveries, and even space mission activities. The software is open-source, so it’s free to download. And it’s cross-platform, so you can use it almost anywhere in your institution, from immersive settings like planetarium domes and theaters, to exhibition spaces, learning labs, and as part of a wide variety of educational programming.

OpenSpace is enabled for GeoDomes through WorldViewer’s Open Playground extension, enabling third-party applications to run on domes and in spheres with a unified WorldViewer user interface. Several of our recent OpenSpace installations are profiled here.
Here’s the schedule of presentations at the booth:
- Monday, September 12

ASTC takes place in Pittsburgh, September 12-15. The last time we exhibited at ASTC was in 2019, also with OpenSpace, when we created the Space Pirates exhibit in our 360° Cyclorama. We can’t wait to re-connect with our science center colleagues and collaborators. Hope to see you there!
