SkyExplorer 4 Introduced by RSA Cosmos at IPS 2016
During this year's IPS Conference in Warsaw, RSA Cosmos presented a new version of its software suite developed in collaboration with the scientific community. SkyExplorer v.4 comprises astronomical simulation features broadcasted on the planetarium dome, and an intuitive interface connecting the presenter and the planetarium.
Intuitive Interface
The convenient interface provides instant access to all system resources on one screen, and reorganize them with no delay for file copying time. An object can be easily dragged from the Library or Windows Explorer to the “dome view”, and then edited for the needs of a show. Labels and control menus are used without them being seen by the audience.![SkyExplorer 4 interface](http://www.fddb.org/wp-content/uploads/img_blog_skyexplorer4_interface_fulldome.jpg)
With the easy-to-use interface show sequences can be made by pushing the record button and operating the controls manually.
