Claims21
A globe display device comprising:
- a display unit in a shape of a sphere, the display unit generating a map image and displaying the map image;
- a driving unit in the display unit, the driving unit being configured to drive the display unit;
- a hologram generating unit in the display unit, the hologram generating unit being configured to display holograms on the display unit;
- a sensing unit in the display unit, the sensing unit being configured to detect information according to user input;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the driving unit and the hologram generating unit using values detected by the sensing unit,
