Cosmo Leap Sigma

Description

The Cosmo Leap Sigma is an optical planetarium projector for medium-sized domes operated by municipalities mainly for education. It is the smallest projector in its class combining the star ball and planet projectors and the first in the world to have 80 constellation images and reference marks, amongst other things, in a star ball to enable a full and comprehensive analysis of the night sky. The elaborate design conveys the ordered universe, inviting children to explore the starry skies.

Statement of the jury

Despite its inner mechanical and high-tech components, the Cosmo Leap Sigma optical planetarium projector is surprisingly compact and therefore ideal for use in smaller domes. The central element is the polygonal »star ball« with its countless lenses, which sparkle like stars thanks to the matt black colour of the ball itself. The technical, incredibly detailed design looks very futuristic (one could say downright space-age), emphasises the demand for the most state-of-the-art technology and arouses curiosity. A formally and functionally impressive projection machine, which in times of light pollution – especially in conurbations – not only makes it possible to discover and get to know our starry sky, but also makes it a fascinating experience.
