Abstract

Telling great geographic stories using spherical displays
Track: Mapping
Authors: steve peedell

Spherical display systems showing dynamic maps are a new generation of physical globes. At the European Commission Joint Research Centre we are using such a display to showcase a diverse range of our activities and communicate science in new and interesting ways. We will show how we use ArcGIS to create maps that are effective when displayed on a 1.5m diameter sphere, and that can tell a compelling story.
