A representative sampling of OmniGlobe installations, roughly in chronological order. Although our proprietary technologies were largely established by 2006, the product has continued to evolve to take advantage of improving projector technology. Our current 2nd generation dual projection systems using Canon LCOS projectors were first introduced in late 2012. OmniGlobes are presently installed in over 30 countries.

First Installed OmniGlobe 2002

“Our globe, now 14 years old, continues to be a highlight of the gallery. Visitors are drawn to it, and stay, to explore its many programs. It’s such an important part of the interpretation that we plan to incorporate it in upcoming gallery modifications. The ARC Science staff is responsive when technical issues arise and have provided new programming, making the globe experience even richer.”—Peggy Fisherkeller, Curator of Geology, Indiana State Museum

“The OmniGlobe is our Planetarium’s satellite, like Earth’s Moon. I pass by it on my way to and from work and often witness an undergraduate exploring the planets whilst waiting for class or a 14 year-old campus visitor confidently demonstrating her knowledge of ocean currents to her 11 year old brother. It’s impossible to measure the impact on STEM recruitment but I’ve no doubt it is significant.”—Dr. Declan G. De Paor, Professor of Geophysics and Director of the Pretlow Planetarium, Old Dominion University.

“We have really enjoyed our OmniGlobe at FRCC. It is a wonderful show piece for students and visitors in our science building. Many faculty in many different disciplines, including biology, geology, astronomy, and meteorology use the OmniGlobe in their instruction to provide visual aids for different course concepts. The service that we received from ARC was excellent.”—Chris C. Romero, Ph.D., Lead Faculty, General Biology, Larimer Campus, Colorado

“OmniGlobe continues to be among the favorite experiences of our guests.”—Jim Rollings, Exec. Director, Science Museum of Western Virginia, Roanoke, Virginia
Earth Day Texas
Shore Country Day School
“The OmniGlobe is a wonderful learning tool for even our youngest students at Shore. Recently, we had a local meteorologist come to visit Kindergarten and he used the OmniGlobe to show the children how the clouds move and change throughout the day. We also use the Globe when the students learn about how water is essential to life. It is always eye opening for the children to see just how much of world is covered by water, but not water we can drink.”—C. Ruble, Kindergarten Teacher, Shore Country Day School, Beverly, MA
