  Audio Universe: Tour of the Solar System is an audio-visual show for
planetariums and flatscreen viewing. It is designed in collaboration with
members of the blind and vision impaired (BVI) community, BVI specialist
teachers and their pupils. It aims to be suitable for audiences with all sight
levels by representing key concepts through sound and using a carefully
constructed narration. We present results from 291 audience evaluations from
online viewers and audience members of several planetarium showings in the UK
and Italy. We find a strong appreciation from BVI and non-BVI audiences, with
~90% scoring 4 or 5 (out of 5) for both how useful and enjoyable the sounds
are. We also present results from surveying planetariums and communication
leaders known to have downloaded the show. We find international success for
special events, for BVI audiences and for those with other special educational
needs and disabilities (SEND; including sensory needs and learning
difficulties). Feedback suggests this is due to its multi-sensory, clearly
narrated, and low sensory load (calm) production. However, we also describe
limitations identified during this evaluation exercise, including the show's
limited incorporation into regular (non-special) planetarium programmes. This
highlights an ongoing challenge of creating a fully inclusive planetarium
experience.
