In February, a new 4D science visualization dome with special effects was handed over by our partner Visuals Attraction in Abu Dhabi (UAE). The new Science Dome of the National Center for Meteorology (NCM) features a ground-breaking new 4D system and offers 60 seats in a 12m diameter dome. The 6k projection system is primarily used to display their own weather data and weather simulations in real time. The Science Dome will be used to host VIP guests such as internationally recognized meteorologists, as well as events for school groups and public screenings of a film on Cloud Seeding and Rain Enhancement Programme from the NCM. The Science Dome can also simulate weather effects such as fog, wind, heat and vibrations.
ZEISS supplied the software and hardware on which the weather data simulations run. ZEISS UNIVIEW #zeissuniview is used with corresponding customer-specific modules. This way the well-known software for real-time visualization of the universe dynamically displays simulations of weather data on Earth. ZEISS UNIVIEW and Visuals Attraction thus demonstrate another exciting way of experiencing scientific phenomena that goes far beyond the classic planetarium.
