OUR PROCESs

At Seiler Planetarium, we don’t just create planetarium experiences—we craft transformative journeys that inspire, educate, and captivate audiences. Our process is a carefully honed blend of creativity, engineering expertise, and personalized collaboration. Here’s how we bring your vision to life:

Discovery & Consultation

Every groundbreaking project begins with a conversation. We start by getting to know you—your goals, your challenges, and the unique narrative you want to share. Our expert team works closely with you to explore possibilities, discuss initial ideas, and outline the scope of your project. This stage is all about understanding your vision and laying the foundation for a truly custom experience.

Conceptualization & Design

With a clear understanding of your goals and needs, our creative and technical teams dive into the design phase. We translate your ideas into a comprehensive plan that marries immersive storytelling with state-of-the-art technology. Through detailed sketches, digital models, and interactive mock-ups, we ensure every element—from the dome’s curvature to the projection systems—aligns perfectly with your objectives. Our iterative design approach means your feedback is integral every step of the way.

Engineering & Custom Fabrication

Precision is at the heart of what we do. Once the design is finalized, our engineers and craftsmen take over to transform your vision into reality. Using advanced fabrication techniques and the highest quality materials, we craft experiences to exacting standards. Whether it’s installing custom seating, dome lighting, audio systems or integrating cutting-edge projection technology, our commitment to excellence ensures a product that’s as reliable as it is revolutionary.
