NOAA Science On a Sphere upgrade 2017 timelapse
Last week, we upgraded the Science On a Sphere installation at NOAA Headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. The new setup includes high resolution, 4K projectors that display data even more detailed and stunning than before. Our new 4K projectors are capable of displaying data visualizations at four times the resolution of HD displays (and more than 10x better than our old projectors). NOAA Headquarters is among the first in the in this new wave of upgrades that will eventually roll out in more locations across the network of over 140 institutions that host NOAA's Science On a Sphere. This time-lapse condenses two days of work into one minute. In it, you can watch us disconnect and remove the old sphere, assemble and hang the new sphere, spackle and paint to hide the seam, and calibrate and align the projectors so the data displays seamlessly. If you're in the DC area, you can stop by NOAA's Science On a Sphere in Silver Spring on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11:30 am - 1:30 pm. Or, check out Science On a Sphere at an institution near you - locations are listed at sos.noaa.gov. #NOAA #datavisualization #dataviz #science #noaasphere
