LAMPS OF ATLANTIS Now Available for Fulldome Theaters

For the first time, audiences will be able to explore the legend of the lost continent of Atlantis in the new show, Lamps of Atlantis, produced exclusively for digital fulldome theaters. A coproduction between Evans & Sutherland’s award-winning Digital Theater Productions and the Eugenides Foundation planetarium in Athens, Greece, Lamps of Atlantis explores the mythology of Atlantis and investigates clues to the origin of the names of modern constellations that may have come from this mysterious civilization. This detective story will keep you fascinated and intrigued as the various pieces of evidence fall into place.

Narrated by Terry O’Quinn, who played John Locke on TV’s hit show, LOST, Lamps of Atlantis features fulldome time-lapse photography from incredible locations around the world including Easter Island, Australia, Egypt, South America and Greece. The show also features stunning computer animation of a number of international locations and the stars and constellations of the night sky.

A 40 minute version of the show is available now, and a shorter, approximately 25 minute cut of the show will be available later this month. For Digistar users, the fulldome trailer is available for download on the DUG library. For more information about the show and to see a trailer, please visit our Lamps of Atlantis website.

About Digistar 4

Introduced in 2002, Digistar 3 effectively launched the fulldome digital planetarium revolution by offering fulldome full color video and real time fully textured 3D computer graphics. And now, Digistar 4 with its intuitive, powerful user interface and open architecture has offered a multitude of exciting new features for Digistar users.

Digistar has an independent and active community of users, the Digistar Users Group, who share techniques and content. Much of the innovation in Digstar 4 was inspired by their feedback and suggestions. Digistar users are an integral part of Evans & Sutherland's continued success. The annual Digistar Users Group conference will be held November 2-4 at the Stardome Observatory in Auckland, New Zealand.
