Columbus Duo Globus Student 30cm - Understanding the World, Recognizing Connections.

In our rapidly globalizing world, maintaining an overview, understanding connections better, comprehending international interdependencies in economics, politics, culture, or the environment are central tasks for the upcoming generation. The new mobility of individual peoples, as well as migration movements, increasingly demand cooperation between states.

The globes from the COLUMBUS Student line are characterized by comprehensive knowledge transfer, a good price-performance ratio, and exceptional durability. Contemporary in their minimalist design, they feature the high-quality DUO™ map image. Furthermore, they provide access to countless audio and video contents through the digital map surface, using the COLUMBUS Explorer Pen*.

This model includes a stainless steel brace and surface on the wooden base stand. Valuable, contemporary, and durable. A pleasant and helpful companion through school and university.

*The COLUMBUS Explorer Pen is available as an optional accessory.

This product is compatible with the Columbus Audio/Video-Pen OID!

OID - Optical Image Decoding: What's Behind This Technology?

This globe offers the option to read a code using the sensor on the tip of the optional Columbus Audio/Video-Pen OID. This code is linked to various audio or video files. When tapped on the globe, the pen detects the code and plays the appropriate file via the built-in speaker (or via the headphone output).

For example, by selecting the category Country Information, you will find out the size of the country, its population, its population growth, the name of its capital city, and much more besides - all depending on where on the globe you tap the pen.

Under Interesting Facts, you will find fascinating, insightful, and extremely comprehensive facts and figures about the country. All countries are presented in detail.

The National Anthems category, which plays the song associated with the individual countries, is especially impressive. You can test your knowledge in a fun way with the fourth category - the Quiz. You'll get interesting answers to all your questions, simply by tapping on the relevant spot on the globe. Take part in a fascinating voyage of discovery around our planet Earth!

Please note: To play the associated video files, you must first download the Columbus Video Pen app from the App Store or from Google Play on your tablet or smartphone.
