What is Unisphere?

The glory days of painting, photography, cinema, television and internet are already over. All of those old fashioned medium catogories are replaced by the new type of modern technology - an immersive medium! What do we mean by that? To put it simply for you - we are talking about a unique cinema with a shape of sphere which surrounds all your visions and thus, you feel like you are quite literally pulled into the projection itself. Not only that, it is also a cinema which is able to answer all your inquries. How cool is that?! It does not matter if you virtually visit the universe, ocean or any other breathtaking places on our planet - you can always expect the best possible experience!

We are located on the premises of the Institute of Physics in Opava, a part of the Silesian University. It is quite literary a utopian place where science, education and entertaiment are working in harmony. Our 8 meters wide projector sceen offers a numerous fulldome shows with an intent to help you understand the world we are living in much more better light. Not only that, we are also one of a few digital planetariums who offer absolutely topnotch quality of the image itself. We also pride ourselves in providing 3D fulldome shows.

Words cannot describe this, you must see it yourself in action! Come over to check out our fulldome shows which we offer to the public or elemetary and high schools. Or even beter, you can also chose to study with us and use this visionary technology yourself during your study with us. Our main aim for upcoming years is to become a creative studio with a focus on shooting and animation production of fulldome shows.
