Overview
Celestack is a product design concept for planetarium programming. Planetarium educators need narration, dome imagery and show sequencing to share a clear review context. The scope connects four activities: dome studio, show sequence, learning guide, rehearsal notes. Each has a dedicated screen, with a dome preview canvas with show storyboard and bottom cue timeline establishing the visual direction. The work includes interface composition, proposed feature architecture and industry-specific showcase imagery.
Four original planetarium programming interface concepts. Records, technical values and depicted workflows are illustrative.
Challenge
Planetarium educators need narration, dome imagery and show sequencing to share a clear review context. A useful workspace must preserve the connection between the original reference, the selected record and the discussion around a change. Showing more information alone would not resolve that handoff.
- Keep scene groups and narration references connected to the selected work.
- Make learning objectives visible at the point where decisions are reviewed.
- Retain show versions and presentation checklist through the handoff.
Solution
The design starts with a dome preview canvas with show storyboard and bottom cue timeline. Preview an illustrative astronomy show in a dome-shaped viewer with scene notes. The remaining views separate exploration, coordination and review into layouts suited to their content. A space black, ultraviolet and pale gold palette gives the product its own visual identity, while selected-record panels keep details close to the working surface.
- Preview an illustrative astronomy show in a dome-shaped viewer with scene notes.
- Arrange educational scenes and narration clips on a storyboard timeline.
- Review an editorial session guide with illustrations and audience notes.
- Discuss scene annotations beside rehearsal comments and presentation tasks.
