Dagik Earth: Google Earth & Dagik on a white half-sphere

Outreach Activites

Inside the Dagik Earth

Google Earth & Dagik are projected on white half-sphere by a PC projector.

It has a reality more than we expected.

How to make a "Dagik Earth":

  1. Purchase a white half-sphere of foam polystyrene. We bought a 60cm diameter one from Tokyu-Hands.
  2. Put it on wall with tape.
  3. Set a shade above or around it if the room is not dark.
  4. Set a PC projector in front of the half-sphere.
  5. Project Google Earth, and adjust the size and focus of the Earth.
