AuthaGraph Paper Globe Assembly Kit / Marumo Printing Stationery

AuthaGraph Paper Globe Assembly Kit / Marumo Printing Stationery

This AuthaGraph Paper Globe illustrates the world map's structure in three dimensions. The transformation process from a sphere to a regular tetrahedron is reproduced in three dimensions through a two-step mapping method. This makes it easier to grasp how the AuthaGraph projection works compared to conventional flat maps.

The AuthaGraph world map maintains a rectangular format similar to the Mercator projection, while displaying the areas and shapes of land and oceans as accurately as possible, comparable to the Dymaxion map invented in the United States in 1946.
Key Features
  • AuthaGraph Projection: Represents land and ocean areas with minimized distortion while retaining a rectangular map format.
  • Three-Dimensional Learning Tool: Visually demonstrates the two-stage transformation from a sphere to a regular tetrahedron.
  • Internal World Map: The AuthaGraph world map is housed inside the globe for clear structural understanding.
  • Paper Construction: Made from paper materials for lightweight handling.
Product Dimensions 128 × 128 × 128 mm
