SOS display at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show
Panasonic Avionics will showcase NOAA's Science On a Sphere® at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world’s largest event for the consumer technology industry. CES opens January 6 in Las Vegas, Nevada and will host more than 3,200 exhibitors, a conference program with more than 300 sessions, and more than 152,000 attendees from more than 150 countries.
Panasonic Avionics has procured a traveling SOS system and rights to use NOAA patented software, which it will be using as a spherical movie screen to promote their innovations.
Science On a Sphere® is a global display system that uses computers and video projectors to display animated planetary data on the outside of a six-foot diameter sphere. Science On a Sphere® extends NOAA's educational program goals, which are designed to increase public understanding of the environment. Using NOAA's collective experience and knowledge of the Earth's land, oceans, and atmosphere, NOAA uses Science On a Sphere® as an instrument to enhance informal educational programs in science centers, universities, and museums around the world.
Science on a Sphere® is available to any institution and supports NOAA’s Engagement Enterprise towards an educated public with improved capacity to make scientifically informed environmental decisions.
