MULTIMEDIA INTERACTIVE EXPOSITION AT THE MOSCOW ZOO “IRBIS. INVISIBLE CAT”
The Interregional Association "Irbis" organized a free exhibition consisting of three segments: seven interactive multitouch stands, a video about the snow leopard on the NAKED EYES media screen on the Main Entrance tower, and graffiti depicting the snow leopard created near the Barrikadnaya metro exit.
The interactive stands utilized a variety of educational tools, including touchscreens, 3D printed objects, and audio elements, to offer a multifaceted experience. The first stand featured general information about snow leopards in Russia, while the second stand allowed visitors to manipulate a figurine of an irbis along its migratory routes. At the third stand, visitors could compare their hand with the paw of a leopard and touch the "pads of its fingers."At the fourth stand, visitors could see the world through the eyes of an irbis with the help of Russia’s first virtual reality helmet, which was created on a 3D printer and had the form of an irbis head. At the fifth stand, visitors could experience the roar of a snow leopard and the satisfied grunts of an irbis, amplified through the use of a state-of-the-art audio system. The sixth stand featured an artificial irbis fur that visitors could touch, crafted from modern materials. The seventh stand was a designated photo zone, where visitors could take pictures against the backdrop of Mount Belukha, with snow leopards in the background.

The NAKED EYES screen, located on the tower of the Main Entrance of the Moscow Zoo, features an animalistic snow leopard demonstrating its physical capabilities with characteristic jumps and movements.
At the recently opened New Entrance to the Moscow Zoo (exit from the Barrikadnaya metro station), a modern graffiti-style image of a snow leopard has been installed. The project has garnered the attention of millions of visitors, emphasizing the importance of snow leopard conservation.
In December 2023, the exhibition was relocated to the Limpopo Zoo in Nizhny Novgorod, offering residents and visitors of the Limpopo Zoo a unique opportunity to learn about the snow leopard not only through interactive stands but also through direct observation. The zoo has been home to a snow leopard named Alba since the end of 2016.
