After a few weeks under the same roof all day long, your kids might be clamoring for something new to do. And while you're probably loath to unleash more video game or YouTube time on their developing minds, you might have run out of fun, yet educational diversions to keep them busy.
However, fun, yet educational is pretty much the calling card of the fascinating AstroReality EARTH Augmented Reality Earth Model. This 3D-printed globe and accompanying app make it incredibly easy for kids and adults alike to understand more about the state of our planet today, all with unique interactivity that teaches and expands minds without ever feeling like some dry lecture.
The globe comes in 3.5 or 5-inch sizes, each intricately printed with polyresin density and hand-painted with precise paint pigment ratios to bring all the surface details of the planet's oceans, mountains, and land masses to vivid life.
While the globe is a work of art in itself, the true magic happens when you open the AstroReality AR app and point your smartphone camera at the globe. Through the app, you can then explore how our planet actually works in precise detail, tracking Earth's geological changes, wildlife, weather patterns and more.
You can follow exactly how humans have populated and transformed the globe, then shift to see how plants and animals create the biopersity and ecosystems that we depend on.
You can examine how geography, climate, and weather drive the migration of animals and the distribution of those ecosystems; how rocks and heat drive volcanoes, mountains and rivers; how clouds, gases, storms, and other sky phenomena keep life on Earth possible; and even the ocean's impactful role in keeping the planet stable.
Perhaps the most relevant feature is the app's new COVID-19 tracker, using data visualization to help users understand the pandemic's spread and its impact.
STEM approved and as engaging as any game, AstroReality EARTH is a window into everything around us — and what we need to do to keep it spinning. Regularly $239, you can save $50 right now and get it for just $189.99.
