The Space Museum will start screening 3D dome shows from next month.
The Leisure & Cultural Services Department has spent $7 million upgrading the digital projection system in the Stanley Ho Space Theatre into a 3D full-dome projection system.
It consists of eight ultra-high resolution projectors and 32 high-performance computers, enabling projection of stereoscopic images with a resolution of up to 16 million pixels.
The first show will be the 23-minute
Astronaut 3D, showing the tough training astronauts undergo, including diving into water to simulate training in space, jumping on a plane to experience weightlessness, and riding in a huge centrifuge to feel immense gravity.
It will be screened daily at 2.40pm and 6.10pm, and there will be additional screenings at 11.10am on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.
Tickets are $32 for stalls and $24 for front stalls at URBTIX.
