Digitarium Gamma Portable Digital Planetarium System
The Digitarium Gamma Portable model is a digital planetarium system designed for
use in portable domes. It is very similar to the
Digitarium Alpha 2+ Portable model,
but offers higher resolution (about 87% more pixels) and a
slightly brighter projector. It has the same unmatched usability of other
Digitarium systems with our exclusive backlit, handheld
remote control.
This model is designed for those who want the highest resolution and the best projection
quality in a portable Digitarium system. If you intend to show a lot of fulldome video shows,
immersive environments, or scientific visualizations, the higher resolution will be invaluable.
Starfields will also look better, especially with the enhanced contrast and our high
quality proprietary lens.
Despite all these features, the price is a fraction of other high quality fisheye planetarium systems of similar resolutions!
