Real-Time Visualization

At its very core, the Uniview planetarium software is an interactive computer platform designed for live-presentation. Powered by scientific databases and accurate visualizations, Uniview takes the audience on visually striking journeys through huge distances and across any scale. The live navigation function, Uniview Flight Assist, is designed to allow a cinematic feel to interactive flights without any fade to blacks. With a proud legacy in the fulldome theater world, Uniview supports over 200 datasets.

Educator & Operator Tools

Uniview 3.0 is built to make live-presentations easier and smoother. With the Panels presentation tool one can build and organize all presentation elements on slides – much like a PowerPoint presentation. Panels are just as easy to present with on a tablet as on a computer – allowing the presenter to walk around in the theater during a show. Uniview allows remote collaboration and shared experiences between display venues. Presenter-led sessions can be shared across theaters and the same presenter can simultaneously address audiences in several interconnected theaters.

Media & Content

Uniview Store is a new online platform where users can find all types of content for planetariums. It's a service to obtain and upload up-to-date and compelling show material like films, presentations and new packages of data. The store is hosted by Sciss, and driven by producers and vibrant user community.

Uniview sits in the daily programs of leading planetariums like Hayden Planetarium, California Academy of Sciences and Moscow Planetarium, and are also used by organizations like NASA, ESA and NOAA. The Uniview Software representation of any given dataset is as true to realism as possible, and for abstract elements carefully designed for a pleasing appearance to enhance understanding.
