Another interesting control device, which controls the earth with a physical sphere!
On the official website you can find a lot of information about this device and how and why it was made. Globe4D was created as a Multimedia Systems project for the Master of Science in Media Technology at Leiden University, the Netherlands. It is a very cool and interesting way of controlling a virtual earth. Please take a look at the following video from the website:
As you can see, this device takes it one step further than any other device and gives you the actual globe in your hand! Although i am sure the Space Navigator device I wrote about in the previous post is very intuitive to use, this is surely a much more hands-on approach. It doesn’t seem like it has as much content as Google Earth, but it does have the time dimension(4th dimension) where you can go back and forth in time.
