This entry collects 360-degree video conversions of pre-existing domemaster content that was originally meant for display in planetarium shows. The domemaster format is a 180-degree polar-stereographic projection. Custom IDL and Imagemagick scripts reproject the domemaster frames into a rectilinear 360 degree format, rotating the center of interest through 45 degrees to aid comfort of viewing. When viewed through a virtual reality viewer the effect is of being at the center of a sphere, with the upper rotated hemisphere preserving the "surround" effect of a real planetarium dome. Future versions will increase this illusion by adding a modeled theater with seats, etc. to give the impression of being seated in a planetarium. For original credits and data used in each clip, please see the list of related videos.
