We are creating a global VR-powered platform that allows users to discover the world – community-run and blockchain-based.It's a decentralized virtual encyclopedia. It allows the user to learn more about the world either in game or academic format. From molecules to the edge of the Universe; from dinosaurs to scenarios of the future. The content will be created by users and financed by a platform's in-built trust fund, as well as by crowdfunding. The platform can be accessed via a browser from any VR device. This aims to avoid prohibitively high fees traditionally charged by VR stores, as well as censorship. 2010 - Launch of mobile planetariums2012 - Having gained experience in field services with existing equipment on the market, we identified a number of shortcomings, and decided to open a mobile planetarium manufacturer and also build accessories.
