Planning a Planetarium
Seating Arrangements
Unidirectional seating
The seats point in one preferred direction of projection (south/north). The planetarium projector should feature a vertical axis for azimuth rotation to permit changing of the horizontal directions.
Advantages: identical alignment of the other projection media. Stereo and surround sound can be used. Small stage in the audience's direction of view.
