The dome shall be 21-feet diameter maximum inside. A rectangular opening for entrance/egress (72" W X 78" H) shall be provided with two doors opening to either side. A center support may be used if it is easily removable for periodic equipment movement in and out of the dome. A door interior which is a cut-out section of screen, fitted to blend in with the screen and to provide a light tight seal is preferred. A flexible skirt or similar means may be used for as much as 2-feet of the bottom of the door to achieve a light tight fit without interference with the floor.

Dimensions are nominal and subject to discussion relative to minor variations, within room constraints. (See 3.2.1 below.) 3.1.2 Optical gain and uniformity. The screen surface shall be Lambertian (nominal unity gain). Localized variations in gain and reflectivity shall not be great enough to reveal blotches, streaks, lines, or other irregularities in the observed brightness (luminance) when the surface is uniformly illuminated. Adjacent panels of the display surface shall be butted together and secured with bolted flanges on the exterior. Joints shall be filled and finished to provide a smooth continuous display surface with no visual indications of the joints and seams. 3.1.3 Dome material.
