SPACE CRUISER from Ivan Safrin and Babycastles (by Ida C. Benedetto)
“Space Cruiser is the most ambitious project yet from NYC developer Ivan Safrin and DIY games collective Babycastles: An interactive installation designed for 100-200 participants that turns the Hayden Planetarium dome into a giant virtual spacecraft. Together, players will collaborate to navigate a virtual ship through asteroid belts and other dangers — kind of like a massively-multiplayer version of Carl Sagan’s imaginary space vessel from Cosmos.”

FYI for those of us in SF: every 3rd Thursday night at the CAS, they forego the recorded planetarium show, switch off autopilot, and it becomes Carl Sagan’s ship.
