With the help of the Globen interactive globe, faraway stars, rare animals, exotic plants, seas and oceans are all brought closer. So close, in fact, they will be at your fingertips! All you need is the Globen interactive globe and your smartphone or tablet. Download and run the app, then point your camera at the globe – and begin your journey with augmented reality technology. You can fly into space and take a closer look at any planet in the Solar system, or go down through the Earth’s crust to see what our planet is made of. You will see a tough-skinned walrus, a cute panda, a graceful snow leopard and other creatures in their natural habitats, be it snow- covered mountain peaks or the ocean depths. You will stop by a thick baobab tree, a sky-high sequoia, a chocolate tree and many other amazing plants; visit Mont Blanc, the Sahara desert, the Mariana Trench, and many more places! Our characters will accompany you with their exciting and easy-to-understand stories. The interactive globe will tell you about 195 countries, their capitals, government systems, languages and major attractions.
