The venerable Planetarium, on Yale road on the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) campus, in Johannesburg, is being transformed into a Digital Dome to not only provide visitors with awe-inspiring shows about the cosmos but also inspire a new generation of scientists and engineers to overcome the challenges facing the world. The shows that will be produced are not simply three-dimensional movies, but are digital resources based on science that are produced through close collaboration between scientists, researchers and digital artists, explains Wits Faculty of Science dean Professor Nithaya Chetty.
