The Universal Console is designed to give presenters more options for controlling their Digitarium® planetarium system. With a cross-platform, web-based application interface, users can control their system from a number of devices over a wired or wireless network.
For example, a fixed dome user may want to use a PC type console in a control booth. For a more portable device, users might choose a Digitarium SkyPad™ (touchscreen tablet device).
The Universal Console opens up alternatives to our unique handheld, backlit remote control. It will not replace our remote, which we still believe is the simplest and easiest to use planetarium interface. However, the Universal Console will have advantages for users who want finer control over their presentations, or who want to hide any trace of their user interface from the audience to maximize the immersive experience.
