Any screen. Any venue.
OpenSpace adapts to your display whether you’re running on a personal laptop or a 30-meter planetarium dome, with fisheye rendering, MPCDI mesh warping, multi-projector blending, and tiled wall support built in.
Dome theaters
Full-dome fisheye projection for fixed and portable planetariums. OpenSpace handles warp mesh calibration, multi-projector edge blending, and MPCDI calibration files, so it works with everything your dome already uses.
- Mesh warping for any dome geometry
- Multi-projector soft edge blending and masking
- Fisheye, cylindrical, and equirectangular output modes
- Compatible with portable inflatable and permanent fixed domes
- Live presenter controls for real-time narration
Classrooms & desktops
OpenSpace runs on Windows and Linux from a standard laptop or workstation.
- Windows and Linux — no licensing costs
- Runs on laptops with gaming graphics cards
- Single-monitor and multi-screen desktop configurations
- Projector and interactive whiteboard compatible
Museum exhibits
Touch-enabled kiosks, locked profiles, and synchronized multi-screen displays for permanent and traveling exhibits. Visitors get a curated experience using the same content available in the planetarium.
- Touch and gesture input for kiosk-style exhibits
- Custom UI profiles — lock to specific content or flight paths
- Synchronized multi-display walls and segmented spheres
- Supports permanent installations and traveling shows
Fisheye rendering
OpenSpace’s fisheye renderer reproduces the full 180° hemispherical field of view required for dome theaters. The projection is computed natively — not post-processed — maintaining full frame rate and visual fidelity at any resolution.
- Native 180° fisheye — no post-process warping
- Per-eye stereo rendering for 3D dome experiences
- Supports 4K and 8K output resolutions
- Equirectangular and cubemap outputs for previews
- SPOUT output for integration with compositing tools
Technical capabilities
MPCDI support
Reads industry-standard MPCDI calibration files for precise mesh warping and blending on any dome or curved screen.
Edge blending
Soft masking and gamma correction across projector boundaries for seamless multi-projector displays.
Projection modes
Soft masking and gamma correction across projector boundaries for seamless multi-projector displays.
Multi-node sync
Synchronized rendering across multiple GPUs and machines for tiled video walls and segmented spheres.
Window configs
A single JSON file describes your entire display setup. Switch between venues without reinstalling.
Cross-platform
Windows, macOS, and Linux. Runs on consumer hardware and professional visualization clusters alike.
