From July 17 to 19, Ray Digital (Shanghai) was invited to attend the Siming Mountain Astronomy Forum of Ningbo, China and the Eastern Zhejiang Astronomy Education Conference.

Ray Digital showcased its 6-meter mobile fulldome system alongside the Shira Universe planetarium software. During the astronomy teacher training sessions, the team delivered three immersive fulldome lectures for participating astronomy educators inside the digital planetarium.

Meanwhile, during the forum session, we delivered a keynote report titled. Future Virtual Courses — Immersive Fulldome Courses Driving Innovation in Astronomy Science Education.

The Data2Dome project, originally initiated by Lars Lindberg Christensen, continues to be supported by NOIRLab(https://noirlab.edu/public/education/data2dome/).

. As the Sureyyasoft team, we have also continued our support for Data2Dome by updating the integration with the latest data sources.

The new version includes:
- Data2Dome feature with updated links for easier use.
The new links specifically include Astropix (https://www.astropix.org/) resources.

- Ability to observe solar eclipses from Earth using telescope simulation.

- Improvements in flat media source presentation and various bug fixes.

The Shira Presenter application was adapted for the Neuenhaus Planetarium by Matthias Rode from Fulldomedia.

The mobile planetarium at Durham University has decided to use Shira Universe. The adaptations were made by Steven Gray of Cosmos Planetarium. We congratulate Dr. Mark Lovell and believe that Shira Universe will be beneficial to astronomy education.

This version introduces a major and highly valuable enhancement: Content Producer.

Content Producer is a core component of Shira Presenter, designed to streamline the creation of immersive full-dome experiences. It provides a flexible and visual environment where users can build complete shows efficiently without the need for programming.

As a timeline-based editor, Content Producer enables users to arrange and control scenes that will be presented in the planetarium dome with precision and clarity.
- Scene-based creation workflow
- User-friendly visual interface
- No programming required to create complete productions
