26. Digital Planetarium – unique partners for CAP o can present current models of the cosmos around us o Fast Growing userbase worldwide o common standards and Compatibility of immersive digital theaters o compatablility with typical production tools used by observatories and Media (Image processing and 3d modelling) o cross media and cross platform potential for CAP (linking books, DVDs, TV to real science)

27. Digital Planetariums and CAP – next steps a network of digital planetariums (f.e. Hamburg- Kiel coop) joint standards, productions and training/courses for future planetarians Shared resources – Metadata Libraries Broadband-network between digital planetariums and the research institutions (major observatories and agencies) real-time events accessing real science – real locations in real time (deep impact) Cooperation between IAU, IPS + ECSITE and ASTEC: Digital Theater as „spearheads“ for CAP
