The Winner of 2016 GOOD DESIGN GRAND AWARD in Japan! AuthaGraph Globe - The World's Most Accurate Globe
This AuthaGraph Globe is a papercraft globe kit showing the process making a 2D AuthaGraph world map. The package contains three different sets of paper parts for the globe of the sphere, the globe of the intermediate body, and the globe of the regular tetrahedron (AuthaGraph).
The globe packs how the latest world map, AuthaGraph is made of. An AuthaGraph world map is installed in the globe. The product three dimensionally reproduces two steps of its projection process from a sphere to a tetrahedron.
By assembling the product you can learn complex geometries of these three polyhedra used for AuthaGraph's projection.
Recommended age: 15+ years old, Estimated time to complete the assembly: 10+ hours, Additional cutting tool or glue material is needed to assemble the kit. For a finer finish, a few good pairs of tweezers are a great help.
