We have a pretty nifty treat for you all today! Steampunk enthusiast, John Knight has developed a way to control Google Earth on his iPad with an actual globe. The secret is in the RFID tags placed upon the globe itself. The setup is still in the works, but it show’s some pretty innovative thinking on Knight’s part! Hopefully he can get this thing up and running smoothly, and eventually produce these globes! We’re looking at the creation of the Map Room for the 21st Century! Get your dirigibles and submarines prepped for these bad boys!
