Interesting how they used someone elses technology (Score 1)

I was just at Disney World and they had this cool globe that could show weather, maps, moons, etc. I just visited their page today to read about it (no price shown). NOAA was one of the companies that used it. On NOAA's page (the link in the article), they show it as being patent granted. Here is the link to the Global Imagination Company where the gallery shows NOAA with one. Looks alot like the one they designed. The Global Imagination model only requires one computer and screen. "..said Alexander E. MacDonald, the NOAA meteorologist who invented Science on a Sphere", from the article. From Global Imagination's site: Our customers include: * Aerospace systems organizations such as Boeing, NASA, NOAA, ESA and Northrop Grumman Space Technology; * Museums such as the Maryland Science Center, Birch Aquarium at Scripps and Chabot Space Science Center * Universities and research organizations such Oregon State University, Florida State and the University Center for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). http://www.globalimagination.com/gallery.html
