2016 marked a unique, third installation of a GOTO projector in a single American planetarium.  The College of San Mateo (California) completed its upgrade from a CHRONOS HYBRID with 2K fulldome video to a new CHRONOS II HYBRID with 4K fulldome video in January. This upgrade followed an earlier replacement of their original CHRONOS projector after it was destroyed in flooding.  GOTO INC is very proud to receive such customer loyalty and confirmation of the HYBRID concept by our users.
For the first time in 14 years, GOTO INC made an international premiere of one of its opto-mechanical projectors at the International Planetarium Society’s 2016 conference in Warsaw, Poland.  A 16m air dome was temporary home to a CHIRON III HYBRID installation in cooperation with RSA Cosmos. Hundreds of planetarians from around the world marveled at the HYBRID’s precision of synchronization, ease of manual control, and of course the beautiful CHIRON III sky.
GOTO INC delivered Japan’s first real 8K fulldome projection system to Fukui City Museum of Astronomy “SEIREN PLANET” and delivered GOTO CHIRON III HYBRID system to Sapporo Science center.
