L'Hemisfèric es una gigantesca sala de proyecciones, con capacidad para más de 300 personas, que cuenta con una enorme pantalla cóncava de 900 metros cuadrados de superficie. Ofrece una cúpula Imax, una pantalla digital 3D y proyecciones digitales, con representaciones astronómicas. Todas estas características han hecho que L’Hemisfèric se haya ganado el sobrenombre de “El ojo de la sabiduría” o “El planetario”. Así que, relájate en tu asiento y déjate llevar a otra dimensión. La belleza está en el ojo del que mira y, en este caso, el ojo es realmente algo digno de observar. La cúpula Imax hace las veces de “pupila” del ojo y el “párpado” se abre y cierra mediante unos elevadores hidráulicos encargados del movimiento de la gigantesca cubierta de acero y cristal. El edificio está rodeado por un gran estanque cuyo fondo es acristalado, lo que ayuda en gran medida a crear la ilusión de estar ante un ojo real.
