July 23: IOSONO 3D Sound System at world’s biggest planetarium conference

Stellar adventures provided by IOSONO, Sky-Skan and ZENDOME.

IOSONO, technology leader in 3D event sound, attends the 21st International Planetarium Society Conference IPS 2012. Already providing 3D sound for galactic journeys in planetariums for years, IOSONO shows its system at the booth of Sky-Skan, leading provider of fulldome planetarium and visualization theater installations. As mobility in event sound has never had more meaning than today, the two companies will logically be completed by ZENDOME, the top manufacturer of mobile geodesic domes. Teaming up for the IPS show, the three companies will show the latest in visualization and multidimensional sound creation.

Visitors of the IPS Dome Village will enjoy immersive video and audio demonstrations at the Sky-Skan dome. Glenn Smith, Managing Director of Sky-Skan Europe, says: „By teaming up with IOSONO and ZENDOME we’re offering high resolution graphics combined with full 3D sound and innovative dome designs. This guarantees an immersive experience visitors will not soon forget.” The basis of the audible experience is IOSONO’s Spatial Audio Processor, which is connected to 32 speakers placed in a ring around the audience. Seamlessly synchronized with Sky-Skan’s video show, visitors will be able to enjoy a stellar adventure with state-of-the-art sound and picture technology. In addition to the 3D sound, two high resolution video projectors cover the spherical screen inside the ZENDOME.ims1200 mobile dome.

“With our combined knowledge, second-rate presentations belong to the past. Merging images and three dimensional sound creates an unforgettable pleasure for all senses”, says Jeff Levison, VP Cinema & Entertainment Systems at IOSONO. Gordian Overschmidt, CEO of ZENDOME, adds: “Our cooperation shows that the right conditions for an optimal implementation and presentation of given content in a mobile environment are now created.” IPS 2012 is taking place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana from 22 to 26 July 2012. We’re looking forward to seeing you at the IPS Dome Village.
