With its stunning visual impact, a Magic Planet provides a truly captivating experience – people take one look and drag others over to watch.

Magic Planets come in sizes from 41 cm to 1.8m. They can sit on a tabletop, be fixed to the floor or wall, or they can be hung from the ceiling. They can be driven by a computer application, by an HD DVD player, by a media server and synchronized with your other multimedia, or by a live streaming video source. So, whether you're after a 41cm interactive personal experience, an incomparable 1.8m wow factor, or anything in between, there's a Magic Planet that's right for you.

Globe sizes of 41-50 cm afford maximum portability, while grabbing people's attention and sparking their imagination. A globe size of 61cm adds an imposing visual experience, while remaining personal and approachable – you can still walk around it and feel like “the planet is yours”. And for maximum, stunning impact, a 91cm - 1.82m globe simply cannot be matched!

No matter what the size, you can see your information or promotional media from any angle - there are no "dead spots" on the spherical display that might impact the experience.

The product comes in a portable configuration, a pedestal configuration, and a chassis configuration. Portable units can be carried by a single individual, and set up for a presentation alongside a notebook computer in little more time than it takes to set up a PC projector. Whether it's for use in a meeting room, a boardroom, on a tabletop or in a classroom, a Magic Planet display can be transported there and set up quickly and easily.

Pedestal configurations are ideal for standing exhibits or displays, such as in museums, stores, executive briefing centers, and corporate lobbies. Mount the Magic Planet on a black matte base, and visitors will feel just like they're watching the Magic Planet floating in space.

The chassis configuration is designed so that you can incorporate the Magic Planet into your own enclosure, furniture or architectural detail. Or, you can choose to purchase a custom enclosure from Global Imagination to meet your specific needs.

Daily operation of the Magic Planet is easy - it can be handled by almost anyone. Customers typically leave the software or media server running 24/7, and merely have someone turn the Magic Planet projector on and off daily. As far as operation costs, as with any projector, the bulb needs to be replaced about every 1,500 - 2,000 hrs (depending upon the particular projector), so operational costs are minimal. Magic Planet globes are made of a durable acrylic that can be cleaned with soap and water.

The Magic Planet hardware comes bundled with everything you need to run your exhibit or to display your media. With the large range of content and exhibits in the Magic Planet user community, your Magic Planet can be delivering value the day it’s installed!

Are your needs unique, and not completely addressed by the range of choices already provided? If so, Global Imagination can design and build a custom system to your exact specifications. We'll also provide additional hardware such as touch-screens, computers, and shipping cases, as well as software and content development services so you get a one-stop-shop for your needs.
