Project Information
A rotating globe turns around its axis using a spindle and a stand that supports smooth motion.
Most common globes are designed for manual rotation: you spin the sphere by hand and it coasts.
Premium designs can rotate continuously using ambient light and magnetic torque mechanisms.
Smooth rotation depends on balance, bearing quality, and stand alignment.
Rotation Mechanisms
Some stands allow tilt adjustments to mimic the earth’s axial angle.
For everyday use, stability is key—choose a base that doesn’t wobble and keeps the globe level.
Lighting and Readability
App-Based 4D Interaction
Keep the globe surface clean to maintain good map visibility and reduce smudges.
Style and Placement
If rotation feels rough, check for dust near the spindle and ensure the base sits on a flat surface.
