General Interest

EARTH UPDATE is an interactive, real-time display system of Earth images and data designed for Museums and Schools and available to the general public as a "museum in a case"! Running from the CD-ROM, the program displays hundreds of images and movies of the best of earth images and data, documented, with web references of how to find out more. Roughly 15% of the material represents "today's data"- weather maps, bioactivity maps, earthquake maps, etc. By copying the software onto a hard drive, you can see "today's data" by downloading today's images free from the Internet with a single click. Museums can subscribe to our automatic updating service. Each of the sub-modules can be run separately, resulting in 6 different kiosks if desired. Over a million visitors have interacted with our software in museum and school settings. This powerful software suite is now available for purchase as a single CD which includes both Mac and Windows versions!

System Requirements: The multi-platform CD-ROM runs under MacOS, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT. The monitor size is 640 X 480; 16-bit color ("high color" on Windows systems), and 8 MB free RAM. We give full site licenses - you may copy onto multiple machines.
