The Professional Line – prestigious, sophisticated and of lasting value.
A tribute to Kepler and Copernicus, a declaration of love for aesthetic design and good taste.
The COLUMBUS globes in the Professional Line are not only masterpieces of precise cartography, but also of creative craftsmanship - a successful collaboration between specialists in the fields of cartography, glass art and design. The glassblowers play a special role here: the crystal glass globes that characterise all models in this line are mouth-blown and, with diameters of 34 cm, 40 cm and an impressive 51 cm, achieve a map scale that is otherwise only found in large atlases.
They thus meet the highest standards in terms of form and function.
This product is compatible with the Columbus Audio/Video-Pen OID!
OID - optical image decoding: what's behind this technology?
This globe offers the option to read a code using the sensor on the tip of the optional Columbus Audio/Video-Pen OID . This code is linked to various audio or video files. When tapped on the globe, the pen detects the code and plays the appropriate file via the built-in speaker (or via the headphone output).
For example, by selecting the category Country Information, you will find out the size of the country, its population, its population growth, the name of its capital city and much more besides - all depending on where on the globe you tap the pen.
Under Interesting Facts you will find fascinating, insightful and extremely comprehensive facts and figures about the country. All countries are presented in detail.
The National Anthems category, which plays the song associated with the individual countries, is especially impressive. You can test your knowledge in a fun way with the fourth category - the Quiz. You'll get interesting answers to all your questions, simply by tapping on the relevant spot on the globe. Take part in a fascinating voyage of discovery around our planet Earth!
Please note: To play the associated video files, you must first download the Columbus Video Pen app from the App Store or from Google Play on your tablet or smartphone.
