MirrorDome Hardware

The MirrorDome requires a DLP projector, Apple Macintosh computer, projection stand and high quality spherical mirror. Swinburne can supply all of these components, or you can choose to use your existing equipment if compatible. There are 2 resolution options, the MirrorDome and the MirrorDome+

Swinburne recommends the MirrorDome for portable domes and smaller theatres, and the MirrorDome+ for fixed domes and larger theatres. Whilst the Apple MacBookPro 15” can drive the MirrorDome+, we recommend a PowerMac G5 as the preferred computer to drive this system.

Many dome operators may already have a suitable projector and/or computer, so these components are listed as optional. It can also be more cost effective to purchase these items locally for warranty and import duty reasons. SpaceWorks of course can supply the complete system.
