Globes For Global Players
With VC going global, we're wondering who will be first, Sequoia, Apax Partners, or 3i, to get themselves one of these futurific-looking globes. Prices start at €60K.
The technology was developed by a US firm, ARC Science, which has started to license the tech to value added resellers. One of them, Globocess in Germany, is pumping up its marketing efforts here.
It sells three different sized acrylic spheres, equipped with 2 DLP-projectors (with 12,000 Ansi Lumen intensity), the geo-data, and other related software to go with it.
Since the sphere works a lot like a computer display, the appearance is configurable. A VC, or a shipping magnate, or a multinational chipmaker can respectively pinpoint their portfolio firms, ships, or factories and have them displayed on their globe. Integration of weather data, location data from GPS systems, and WiFi are also supported.
