Preface

Science City, Kolkata is a constituent unit of the National Council of Science Museums (NCSM), an autonomous body under the Ministry of Culture, Govt. of India. Science City was developed for two prong activities, the science centre and the convention centre. The facility was developed on a plot of land measuring 44.6 acres located at the crossing of EM Bypass and Park circus connector on the eastern fringe of Kolkata Metropolis and was formally opened to public on July 01, 1997. Since its inception, Science City has been self sustaining in its operation, maintenance and periodical development. The primary source of revenue generated over the years has been from entry fees to various facilities housed in the science centre complex, license fees from visitor facilities outsourced to private agencies and from hiring charges generated from the convention centre for holding conventions, AGMs, cultural programmes, seminars, trade exhibitions, annual programmes of local schools etc. The science centre part of Science City has recorded over 26.45million footfall since its inception and has created a niche for itself as a destination for science popularization activities to meet the objectives of the Council.

Existing facilities of Science City Dome Theatre

One of the major attractions for visitors to Science City is the “Space Theatre” in which large format educational films are screened regularly. Since inauguration it has recorded over 6.27 million footfall to this facility to witness the educational films and planetarium shows that are screened in the space theatre. There has been rapid growth of new knowledge, emergence of new areas of S&T and development of new science communication technologies that engage, motivate and enthuse and provide participatory and immersive experience to visitors. Therefore there is an urgent need to upgrade this facility with cutting edge technology which shall provide immersive experience to visitors on contemporary topics of science, technology and environment using state-of-the-art digital technologies.

The “Space Theatre”was setup by M/s GOTO INC, Japan in the year 1997. This consists of Astrovision -70 (Fish Eye) projection system for screening 10/70 large format films and GSS-Helios for planetarium shows. The existing technology has now become obsolete and new digital technologies have evolved which present high resolution content in both 2D and 3D immersive environment.

Science City is interested to replace the existing equipment with new digital 2D/3D system which shall cater to both immersive real-time filmshows and as well as planetarium shows. Though the new digital full dome systems are in continuous development process, the latest developed systems have already achieved more dome resolution than large format films using multiple projectors.
