The STARLAB system is a portable teaching environment that can be brought right into the classroom. It consists of an inflatable dome, a projector, projection cylinders, and optional accessories. Easy to store and transport, the system packs down into traveling cases and a duffel bag. In fact, the STARLAB system is so compact that it can be handled by one person and transported in the back of most small cars. Once unpacked, STARLAB can be set up in under ten minutes.

Available in two sizes (Standard and Giant) the STARLAB dome is made from a highly opaque, flame-retardant, reflective fabric. Its unique design and portability make it an ideal environment for interactive, hands-on, minds-on activities. See also Dome Specifications.

Technically advanced, yet simple to operate, the STARLAB Projector features a high-intensity halogen cycle lamp designed exclusively for the STARLAB system. It creates brilliant, precise images. See also Projector Specifications.

The Projection Cylinders are the secret to the versatility of STARLAB. These interchangeable, computer-generated mylar cylinders fit over the projection lamp to create vivid images on the inside of the dome. They make it easy to demonstrate the night sky, the inside of a biological cell, a global projection of the earth or colorful mythological characters. For more information on all of the current cylinders see Projection Cylinders.
