| | SGI - Press Releases: Immersive Theater, Powered by SGI Reality Center, Opens in Alabama (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | The grand opening of the Immersive Theater begins with previews for local government officials, industry groups, educators and media on March 7 and 11; the facility opens to the general public March 15. |
 | | I felt that if we could make an immersive theater with an interactive feature, then each visit to Sci-Quest would be unique, because the children would get to participate and steer the scenario of whatever data sets are being used. |
 | | The stadium-like Immersive Theater is equipped with 34 Linux® OS-based student workstations, each with a retractable touch screen and two Linux OS-based control workstations for the facilitators, all linked to the SGI Onyx 300 system, which drives the images to the Barco® projector display system and onto the screen. |
