About
I’m Ron Proctor, an immersive-media producer and scientific visualization specialist with more than twenty years of experience in planetariums and scientific visualization.
My work bridges raw scientific data and audience-ready experiences. I combine motion design, 3D visualization and collaborative storytelling to make difficult concepts clear, memorable and emotionally resonant—without sacrificing scientific integrity.
I have created work for fulldome theaters, virtual reality, Science On a Sphere and museum exhibits, and I've been teaching Blender since 2008.
