WHAT'S ON
As part of the renovation project major changes have taken place in the Digital Theatre. A fantastic new Evans & Sutherland Digistar 3 multi-channel theatre system is at the centre of the renovation project which will treat audiences to a full-colour 3D experience projected over the entire dome. Armagh Planetarium is the only site in Ireland to boast this amazing technology.
   WHAT IS A DIGITAL THEATRE?  
Digital Theatre is the latest advancement in planetarium projection systems. Unlike the planetaria of the past, we now have the capability to show video in 360°. This allows the audience to be completely immersed in visuals creating a unique visitor experience.

The Digital Theatre has been refurbished with new seating from Figueras International Seating and can accommodate 94 visitors in air-conditioned comfort. A 5.1 surround sound system has been custom designed by BOSE and an advanced LED lighting suite from Bowen Technovation enhances the audience's enjoyment of the programme by creating the most exquisite patterns of vibrant lighting upon the dome.
