Science on a Sphere - Ways of Adding Interactivity into the Unique Projection System

Jana Varnušková, Josef Kohout

2015

Abstract

This paper describes applied research provided in cooperation of the Faculty of Applied Sciences and the Techmania Science Centre. It presents the unique system Science on a Sphere, its features, control mechanisms and limitations. The special visualization system brings a new approach of geographical data presentation. On the other hand it offers just a minimal opportunity of user interaction. Interaction should enable better participation of science centre in the learning process. The paper shows the ways how the existing projection system Science on a Sphere has been extended for the interactive features.
