Miraikan – The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation
Tokyo, Japan
The Geo-Cosmos, the symbol exhibit of Miraikan, produces a rendition of our Earth shining brightly in space with a super high precision exceeding 10 million pixels. It is the world’s first "Globe-like display" using organic LED panels and was created from Miraikan's Chief Executive Director Mamoru Mohri's desire of "wanting to share with people the sight of our beautiful Earth as seen from space." The images of clouds floating across the display are created from images shot by weather satellites each day. It allows you to see realistic image of how the earth looks like.
