OMNIDOME at the Jordan Planetarium is a new projection system designed to fill the dome, surrounding the audience with with video very much like the Omnimax theaters in large city museum complexes. Those shows that are primarily Omnidome presentations will usually have the code OD at the ends of their titles, and the seating capacity of the Jordan Planetarium will always be limited to 30 seats.. down from the usual capacity 45.

The Maynarad F. Jordan Planetarium became the first digital planetarium in the State when the Omnidome programs started running in early 2007. In addition to feature video programs, there are demonstrations and illustrations to enhance even the classical star shows that continue to be featured here.

The system called MirrorDome was developed by researchers at the University of Swinburne in Australia- but it works in our hemisphere too.

Part of the design that makes this system work in our small planetarium is its location at the edge of the dome out of the way of our star maker, Franklin. The high resolution dlp projector is driven by a computer graphics system, and the curved mirror reflects the image into a 360 degree hemisphere filling our dome.
