Sound Experience Survey: Fulldome and Planetariums

Sound Experience Survey: Fulldome and Planetariums

The IPS Immersive Sound Committee in collaboration with IMERSA is conducting a sound experience survey to help the fulldome and planetarium communities grow better awareness of the current state of audio production workflow, presentation, and distribution in domes. 

With these surveys, we hope to better understand people’s sonic creative experience within the fulldome and planetarium communities to guide new initiatives within the International Planetarium Society (IPS), IMERSA, and beyond.

We will use the answers of the survey to build a state of the industry report that we hope will help guide future conversations and developments in the industry.
