Beyond the lure of the stars
Dome applications have diversified over the years. They are no longer limited to being the tools of stargazers and design exercises in architecture classes. The dome now does duty teaching, training, entertaining and enlightening.



Learning in Real-time
Experience is the best teacher in the world. But some things are almost impossible to experience. Like electrical failure in a 747 cruising at 30,000 feet.

Almost.

Since 1970, both military and civilian pilots have learned to deal with situations like this – and the more mundane aspects of their profession – inside Astro-Tec flight simulators. For more than 30 years, our simulators have been the tool of choice for clients such as the U.S. Military and McDonnell Douglas.
By using our flight simulation screens in conjunction with various types of projection systems, military and civilian pilots alike are given the kind of hands-on experience that cannot be duplicated anywhere else.


The Immersive Experience
When you’re showing a large format film or immersive feature, you want a screen that will give your audience the complete experience intended by the filmmakers. Only the best will do when you’re exhibiting a medium with ten times the image size of a traditional 35mm movie screen.
Astro-Tec creates aluminum screens using a process virtually identical to that used in fabricating our planetarium domes. The surfaces are also similar, with a seamless finish providing ideal image quality for your movie/video projection system. Utilizing state-of-the-art CAD engineering equipment allows us to create any size screen custom built to meet your specific needs.
