Making fulldome images using camera with fisheye lens and fulldome picture on bowl: Workshop for children at planetarium

Abstract

Planetariums are the equipment and the facilities which reflect light who rose from a projection machine in an installed curved surface screen inside the domed ceiling. This can reproduce a star and a stellar movement. The optics system planetarium was put by the beginning in the center of the dome. A recent planetarium can be indicated using more than one digital projector. A digital projector can also project something besides the star onto a dome. It’s possible to project a picture of a PC at this planetarium. The planetarium in Toyama Science Museum held the concerts. And it held the screening party of fulldome contents contests since 2016. But it’s difficult a work will imagine the curved surface, and that’s to make the full dome picture projected onto a planetarium at a plane of a PC. We take a picture of the one which was drawn in canvas in inside the bowl and full dome which says by a fish-eye lens and project onto a dome in a planetarium by this research. We led that full dome picture can be made easily. This paper carries a result of the workshop for children.
