The Duorama map image shows vegetation geography information when unlit. When lit, the political image of our Earth appears with clearly differentiated colours.
When unlit, the physical map image shows you a view of the Earth in unprecedented plasticity. All the shades of the oceans and vegetation zones, rich green tones and brilliant azure blue – discover our breathtaking planet. The hand-drawn, highly refined relief makes the depths of the sea appear almost three-dimensional, even though they cannot be felt.
When illuminated, the political differentiation of the Earth appears. The fine country borders appear in harmoniously coordinated colours. Nevertheless, the depths of the oceans, desert landscapes and forest areas remain intact, as the delicate country borders complement the topographical surface.
This handmade illuminated globe from Columbus is a unique gift. This globe will take the breath away from more than just geography enthusiasts.
This product is compatible with the Columbus Audio/Video-Pen OID!
OID - optical image decoding: what's behind this technology?
This globe offers the option to read a code using the sensor on the tip of the optional Columbus Audio/Video-Pen OID . This code is linked to various audio or video files. When tapped on the globe, the pen detects the code and plays the appropriate file via the built-in speaker (or via the headphone output).
For example, by selecting the category Country Information, you will find out the size of the country, its population, its population growth, the name of its capital city and much more besides - all depending on where on the globe you tap the pen.
