We had developed the first multi-camera planetarium specific 360 video technology in Canada, plus innovative RGB diode laser software, and rather than concentrate on opening our shows at larger venues in other cities, we approached BCIT first. They have given us an amazing amount of encouragement to upgrade the Planetarium and move ahead.
