The design of the planetarium as an almost perfect sphere provides an adequate infrastructure for the development of an experimental spherical video, which allows the exploration of new possibilities of addressing the viewers. High-definition projectors and surround sound create an environment for playing spherical videos that allow for a fully immersive experience. The shape of the planetarium responds to criticisms of spherical video playback with virtual reality equipment, which completely individualizes the film experience, as it re-establishes film-viewing as a collective experience and opens up space for group dynamics, which is an important element of the experience.

The most widespread use of the planetarium still involves popular science videos that take visitors into space, among the planets, nebulae and galaxies. With a plastic representation of the sky, the planetarium remains an indispensable educational tool and at the same time opens up possibilities for interactive and immersive art installations that reach a larger number of viewers at once.
