StarLab® by Science Interactive, the leading portable planetarium, now offers A NATIVE 4K PROJECTOR for the sharpest, highest quality imagery possible to transport students into a world of planetary exploration.
ENGLEWOOD, CO–October 26 , 2023–StarLab®, a part of the Science Interactive Group, has launched the latest upgrade to its portable planetarium—a new 4K projector. Unlike the digitally simulated 4K pixel-shift of other projectors, StarLab’s native 4K projector now generates the sharpest images possible so students can easily visualize the details of our vast universe. For over 30 years, StarLab has been used in thousands of districts, schools, and science centers across the country, empowering teachers to provide the most interactive learning experience possible for students. StarLab has served to expand access to a fully immersive learning experience and build growing student interest in STEM-related disciplines.
Using 3.66 megapixels / 2160 pixels and 5500 lumen high picture brightness, StarLab's new native 4K projector produces unmatched clarity and stunning dimension for any content regardless of its original resolution. With a lightweight, simplified case design and streamlined setup, teachers can bring any astronomy, geology, meteorology, and geography lesson to life in under 15 minutes. From the depths of Earth’s layers to the farthest meteoroid, students will feel transported in an immersive, interactive learning experience that results in deeper engagement with course material.
“StarLab's new 4K projector will make students' experiences viewing the night sky, traveling through space, and learning about Earth's processes as memorable and effective as a field trip to a big city science center or museum, without ever leaving school. Teachers will be able to display the fine surface details visible on the moon and terrestrial planets and explain the geological processes that have shaped those bodies. The videos, slides, and images that educators are able to add will now display in such crisp, easily readable detail that you’ll feel like you’re there,” said Chris Vaughan, a Digital StarLab Certified Presenter and Trainer & Senior Astronomer and Earth Scientist at AstroGeo.ca.
“Our mission is to empower scientific literacy for learners everywhere. Our StarLab learning experience is an extension of that mission. For phenomena that are challenging or even impossible to experience in real life, StarLab provides teachers with an opportunity to help students observe the unobservable up close, creating an immersive learning experience that results in stronger student engagement and a deeper, more authentic understanding of concepts. We’re excited that this latest enhancement to StarLab helps teachers further elevate the learning experience in their classrooms,” said Science Interactive CEO, Sasha Peterson.
Flexible and easy to transport and set up, Science Interactive’s StarLab package includes the 4K projector, dome, laptop, and turnkey curriculum, so teachers can seamlessly integrate preloaded or original content, while delivering stunningly crisp visuals that transport students into a world of exploration like never before.
