Visuals Attraction at IPS 2024 & ZEISS Experience Days

Opening

 

From July 21–25, 2024, Visuals Attraction had the honor of attending two of the planetarium world’s most pivotal events: the 27th International Planetarium Society (IPS) Conference in Berlin and the ZEISS Experience Days 2024 in Jena.

IPS 2024: A Centennial Celebration of Planetarium Innovation

This conference, centered on the theme United Under the Sky, featured compelling discussions on best practices, emerging technologies, and innovative programming for planetarium professionals. It gathered planetarians from across the globe and inspired us to explore new collaborations and cutting-edge ways to bring immersive science to audiences.

ZEISS Experience Days 2024: Experiencing UNIVIEW in Action

Simultaneously in Jena, ZEISS hosted its Experience Days 2024, bringing attendees hands-on with the latest UNIVIEW technology and vision for planetarium systems.

The event was strategically timed with the IPS Fulldome Festival, offering participants a seamless way to experience both the technical exhibits and the festival programs when sessions concluded each day


Why It Matters for Us

Attending these events allowed us to:

  • Discover new immersive technologies that can elevate our Fulldome and AV offerings

  • Connect with peers and industry leaders who share our passion for making immersive science accessible and engaging

  • Gain inspiration from the vibrant planetarium community, fueling ideas for future projects and collaborations


In Summary

We’re proud to have stood among the planetarium community at this centennial milestone—and confident that our experiences at both IPS 2024 and ZEISS Experience Days will drive our mission forward: to create transformative immersive environments that inspire learning, wonder, and connection.
