Abstract
This paper describes our science and technology communication activities with a focus on the universe using Mitaka software developed by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. Mitaka has a stereovision mode, through which the users can show the cosmic space. It helps enhance the scientific awareness of the viewers. We developed a mobile three dimensional (3D) image projection system and carried out space science classes using Mitaka in local schools and facilities. We show the background of the 3D image projection system development and its utilization cases.
