Orboot Earth is an interactive world globe powered by augmented reality. Thanks to modern technology, you can hop from country to country, learning about history, culture, animals and more from the comfort of your own home. It’s an educational STEM toy that is great fun for any child. How easy is Orboot Earth to set up? I enjoyed this setup, and it really started my lifelong interest in geography. However, my grade-school self can't help but feel jealous watching companies like Shifu use augmented reality to bring the globe alive with interactive information.
