The changing landscape.
Fulldome theater growth is robust -- virtually all new planetariums incorporate fulldome video and digital planetariums are outselling optical projectors by a factor of 10 to 1. Nearly every major city in the U.S., home to about half of existing venues, has a fulldome theater; the rest are located in forty countries around the world, from Canada to Brazil; from Israel to Malaysia. Sixty or more permanent theaters are added globally each year, with a projected total of around 600 in operation by 2010. Most of the larger venues (the biggest licensors of content) are located in museums and science centers, with schools, colleges and universities accounting for the bulk of the smaller facilities. In addition, we are starting to see the medium expand into other areas: commercial uses of fulldome technology in special-venue entertainment, art installations, trade shows and elsewhere.
