In 2010, we bought our first mobile planetarium and started to work with local schools. Gradually, our network expanded and a year later Altair Digital Holding was founded.

To organize our business, we needed an inflatable dome and a projector, with the help of which we showed educational films on astronomy to students. At that time, such events caused incredible emotions among children, because most of the students then visited the planetarium for the first time. We visited 10-15 schools a week, which brought income for further expansion.

By purchasing additional sets of equipment, we gradually built the largest network of mobile planetariums in Russia and introduced half a million children to astronomy.

In early 2017, we developed our own product. Our bold ideas were implemented using virtual reality technology. By adapting Fulldome films to the VR format, we were able to maintain the same image quality as films in the world's most expensive planetariums.

This is a new stage in the development of the industry. With the help of virtual reality we transfer children to a real planetarium and show popular science films created by international studios.

In 2017, our team packed our long-term experience and new business into a demanded franchise. There are no similar products on the market.

The professional planetarium, which has been transferred to the virtual reality, is used as a business tool for additional education. Owners of the Virtual Encyclopedia organize paid shows of scientific films in schools and other educational institutions.

At the moment, we have developed a network of partners in Russia through a franchise, and our representatives in many countries around the world every day bring us closer to our main mission: to provide children from the most remote corners of the world with access to quality and modern education that stimulates the desire for knowledge!
