The Maloka Centro Interactivo in Bogotá, Colombia has reopened its doors as a Sciss Colourspace theatre, following a state-of-the-art refurbishment.
The museum partnered with Sciss, a provider of planetarium and fulldome solutions, and Gbvi Technology (Gbvi), a specialist in optical blending solutions for multi-channel projection environments, to create the first 8K 3D planetarium in South America.
The theatre was transformed into a five-channel digital fulldome experience with Gbvi Chronos glass plate blending technology to offer guests a stunning visual display.
The existing film projectors were replaced with five Christie Mirage 304K projectors, with custom optical blends for each channel.
Rob Overy, senior project manager at Sciss, said: “The use of optical masks is essential in fulldome theatres where very dark scenes are common. Gbvi’s Chronos offers the best optical blending solution for projected displays.”
