For centuries this miracle was hidden from all but a few. When it was revealed to the world it was hailed as one of the greatest discoveries in nature.

Newly-installed in 2011, COSI’s digital projection system provides incredible color, clarity, and screen resolution. Because it uses fewer components and produces less heat, it is also more than twice as energy efficient as COSI’s previous film-based system.
The projection system isn’t the theater’s only new addition. The use of circular polarization 3D glasses with selected films means viewers can turn their heads in any direction without blurring the 3D image. COSI’s 3D glasses are washable and reusable, making them a green alternative to the disposable glasses used in traditional cinemas.
