Planetarium at EC1 Lodz – the City of Culture is the most advanced such facility in Poland, equipped with a spherical screen of 14 meters in diameter and resolution of 8 K (over 32 million pixels, which in practice translates into the image quality eight times better than HD).
Perfect image is also the result of 12 modern computers and the implemented technology – the seams between particular screen elements are invisible, which allows for a complete immersion in the screening. The impression is magnified by the Dolby Surround sound system.
Planetarium EC1 Lodz has 110 seating places and the armchairs can be adjusted to the most ergonomic position. The facility can house 140 people. The entire project, equipment, and software are the responsibility of the Wrocałw-based consortium A+V and the American Evans&Sutherland. It is also worth mentioning that there is only one planetarium in Europe with similar parameters, in Lucerne, which, in a way, served as a prototype for the more advanced planetarium of Lodz.
