Earth Observatory

Earth Observatory is a three-screen user interface in conjunction with the Magic Planet from Global Imagination at the Connecticut Science Center in Hartford, CT.  Visitors are able to select from several different maps that are projected onto a globe shaped sphere.  Users are also able to control the rotation, speed, angle, and direction of the projected map in order to get a full 360 degree experience.  While there is only one control station, the other two screens allow observers full view of the information pertaining to the current map.
