Inflativerse: a mobile planetarium

The University of Nottingham has developed a mobile planetarium that revisits the instant architecture fad to explore outer space. The Inflativerse uses a 20 foot wide balloon of black plastic to create a pitch-black environment in which to project images of stars and constellations.

The Inflativerse uses air-pumped technology to explode space outward. Visitors enter a sealed dome, where the absence of light facilitates the illusion of boundless space. Inside, a light show mimics the night sky and illustrates astronomical stories, intended to enlighten a generation accustomed to the starless haze of light pollution.

Star Wars Uncut: Director’s Cut

Finally, the crowd-sourced project has been stitched together and put online for your viewing pleasure. The Director’s Cut is a feature-length film that contains hand-picked scenes from the entire StarWarsUncut.com collection.

Many thanks to Aaron Valdez (video editor) and Bryan Pugh (sound design/mixing) for the countless hours they put into this masterpiece.

The Story:

In 2009, thousands of Internet users were asked to remake “Star Wars: A New Hope” into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. Contributors were allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted. Within just a few months SWU grew into a wild success. The creativity that poured into the project was unimaginable.

SWU has been featured in documentaries, news features and conferences around the world for its unique appeal. In 2010 we won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media.

We can’t thank everyone enough for making this such a special project.

Watch it now.
