Selects Dolby 3D to Illustrate its Commitment to the Environment
The Connecticut Science Center has selected Dolby 3D and Dolby Digital surround sound for its Maximilian E. and Marion O. Hoffman Foundation 3D Science Theatre, which opened to the public last month.
"Dolby 3D will be a signature attraction at our theatre," says Greg Kowalewski, theatre manager, Connecticut Science Center. "We are opening with two exceptional 3D movies: Dinosaurs Alive! and 3D Sun. These movies were chosen to enhance our educational programs and exhibits. By choosing the Dolby 3D system and its reusable glasses, we are also reinforcing our eco-friendly message to our visitors."
The Connecticut Science Center, located in Hartford, Connecticut, is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing science education throughout the state and the New England region. Designed from its inception to be a green facility, the Connecticut Science Center believes it will receive at least a Gold Level Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED awards are given by the U.S. Green Building Council to projects that show a high level of commitment to sustainability through design and operation.
In alignment with the science center's green initiative, the Dolby 3D system uses high-performance, eco-friendly passive glasses that require no batteries or charging and can be reused repeatedly, reducing waste associated with a disposable glasses model. The Connecticut Science Center selected the Dolby 3D system not only to support its eco-initiative but also to deliver a premium viewing experience to it patrons. Dolby's 3D solution uses a unique full-spectrum color-filter technology licensed from Infitec that provides realistic color reproduction and an extremely sharp image.
Visitors will not only see spectacular 3D images but will feel the power of the audio with Dolby Digital surround sound that processes precisely 17,600 watts of sonic power delivered from 29 speakers (4 subwoofers, 22 surrounds, and 3 Left/Center/Right cabinets).
"I know patrons are going to be dazzled by the spectacular 3D picture and immersive surround sound that the Dolby system provides. In addition, Dolby 3D fits perfectly into the Connecticut Science Center's eco-agenda," says Page Haun, senior director of cinema marketing, Dolby Laboratories. "Dolby 3D brings the Connecticut Science Center a truly immersive 3D experience adding another layer of storytelling for educational content."
