Having closed for more than seven months for a large-scale renovation, the Hong Kong Space Museum's Stanley Ho Space Theatre reopens on July 1 with a completely new look. The HK$34 million renovation project includes a new digital planetarium projector and seats installed with a multi-language and interactive system.
With a resolution exceeding 53 million pixels, the new digital planetarium system boasts the highest resolution in a theatre. The new system can project full dome animations or movies, which could not be achieved by the old projector. The new seats are installed with a multi-language system offering narration in more than four languages for a show. The newly designed display unit installed on the armrest of the seat allows individual viewers to select languages and use the interactive features.
