Abstract
A three-dimensional digital globe system, Dagik Earth, has been developed by a group of geoscientists, software engineers, and educators for use in and out of school education and public outreach. The project aims to provide schools, science museums, and educators with the basic knowledge and recent progress in Earth and planetary sciences, and stimulate interest in them. The system is very simple and budget-friendly using a PC, a PC projector, and a spherical screen. The screen for this system is inexpensive, and any white sphere, such as a balance ball or balloon, can be used as the spherical screen. The three-dimensional presentation of the Earth and its data provides the audiences a view of looking down the Earth from space similar to large-scale three-dimensional globe systems, such as the Geo-cosmos of Mirai-kan, Japan, and Science On Sphere of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, USA. The software is provided free of charge for educational and scientific use. English and Chinese versions are also available although the majority of users are in Japan. A permanent exhibition of Dagik Earth is installed in 23 science museums, including one in Taiwan. As well as digital globe, the project is also developing analogue globes using global Earth and planetary science data. Students make their own handmade globes in classrooms and science events and take them home. In addition to introducing the software of Dagik Earth, we would like to introduce analogue craft materials in the presentation. International cooperation will also be discussed.
