The centerpiece is the Universal Gallery which incorporates the Science On A Sphere interactive experience which is a product from NOAA, USA an is the first installation of its kind in Australia. It features a 360 degree projection mapped 1.7m diameter suspended globe, capable of displaying unlimited libraries of sphere mapped ‘datasets’ – including planetary, climatic, meteorological and topographical displays.

‍

Planar’s Clarity® Matrix® panels were selected to complement the Universal Gallery which incorporates the Science On A Sphere learning environment as the ideal solution to enable multi-point touch interactive learning for students and users.

‍

23x portrait mounted 55” Clarity® Matrix® LX55HDU displays were arranged to form a continuous 22m wall of context sensitive interactive content which draws from the World Wide Telescope matched to the Science On A Sphere datasets around the perimeter of the space. A further 10 Clarity® Matrix® displays form a similar interactive wall within the space’s entrance, specifically designed to welcome and entice users into the space.

Custom software and content was developed in order to enable multi-point touch learning for students and users to be displayed on a continuous wall of context sensitive interactive content, matched to the Science On A Sphere datasets around the perimeter of the Science On A Sphere space.
