moon is the first and most accurate three-dimensional dinner globe featuring all its craters in precise detail moon was created using data from nasa's lunar reconnaissance orbiter mission combined with advanced engineering and careful craftsmanship in mode making the result is a stunning 1 to 20 million scale topographically accurate replica of the moon revealing its craters as the light moves around casting dramatic shadows across its surface moon has three modes the manual mode allowing you to rotate the Sun yourself setting the lunar phase that you would like to see the demo mode lets you observe a synod Hickman's in just 30 seconds and last but not least there is the live model it synchronizes itself with the current position of the will discover famous landmarks like tycho crater or classes and get to see the Sun rising over the dark side of the moon for the first time ever they've mimicked two sons real time pass by building encoding a custom computer that precisely controls the motion of the light it's real time clock and gearing system make sure it is perfectly in sync put the actual position of the moon Anderson we took as much care with designing the inside components as we did with the outer case moons computer board has the exact same memory as Apollo 11s computer the arm is CNC machined from aircraft grade aluminum and the base is cut from six till all moons are manufactured and individually numbered in a studio in London this precision and attention to detail not only makes moon a scientifically accurate globe but also an ambient light designed to sit on your desk or shelf bye there are over a hundred wineries in Melbourne New Zealand here is a region renowned for the crafting of world class seven your block amidst these phones there is a remaining cherry orchard on which they began their craft all it's a officially founded in any 2013 the paper and project specializes in organic fairtrade artist apparel custom skateboarder and long boards made from recycled wine barrels aiming for high quality creative products that were sustainable as possible we'll throw and indigo Greenlaw said about creating a unique style of wine barrel ball partnering with organic biodynamic wine makers at serious in the state the paper and project use one soaked aged oak barrels in a lengthy process to create a longboard with a beautiful body and a great ride we love doing what we do even though sometimes it means that we work from getting up until going to bed or all through the weekends and don't have much of a social life often written as a struggle but this is a passion and we can't imagine doing anything else we're so passionate about making high-quality creative and sustainable products a way of life or just a part of everyone's life virtual reality is transporting you into a digital environment where you can look all around and interact with things as if you were there whether it's again a movie or a 360-degree photo it's a fully immersive experience and a very different feeling than simply viewing digital content on a screen octo is a new kind of virtual reality headset it uses your smartphone it was born after months of user research when we realized that most PR devices aren't made for everyday use opto is the first portable headset with integrated audio sound is not just an afterthought but an integral part of the design we have designed octo as a wearable it is lightweight sits perfectly balanced on your head and is made of closed cell foam a material comfortable to wear and easy to clean he will no longer feel like you're just strapping a piece of hardware to your face the process of inserting and removing your phone is quick and easy you simply connect the audio place the phone inside and then pop the front cover back on you can jump in and out of VR whenever you want inge watch your favorite TV series on your couch or on the train opto is your portable entertainment headset when I first came to yellowstone i'd never forget that came over the beartooth pass and the this panorama just opened up and I just my wife was with me at the time and I took one look out and I just kind of looked out and I said I'm never leaving this place and that was back in nineteen eighty five and having one of the first underwater robots that could collect samples and take images for science I was I was given a contract by Noah to do work in Yellowstone Lake I was a one-man show and I was able to design equipment that really served the needs of the scientist and to depths that they weren't going to be able to do with standard diving techniques I love being on the lake and I loved seeing what was down there and even using very low resolution cameras and images were we're really just stunning but I realized that the next 30 years is probably not going to be all me so when I started the foundation I made a commitment to build a team of young engineers who were passionate about this as passionate as I was when I first started and in the last year the foundation has grown significantly we have mechanical engineers we have electrical engineers we have software engineers we have video engineers some of these young people are just phenomenal and and I am absolutely confident that they not only have the talent but they have the drive the ambition and I was convinced that that the next generation could take this way beyond what I started I feel I'm in a position to achieve the goal of creating a capability in Yellowstone that will be second to none for quite a long time to come and it's Yellowstone it's it's the first national park it's the crown jewel of national parks in this country and it is our obligation to understand it because the only way to protect it is to understand it and and this is a mission of the foundation it's a mission of Yellowstone National Park how people to understand why these environments are important so what we're asking for here is a hundred thousand dollars to help create this robot because in the end the public is what benefits and we have a donor who is willing to match dollar for dollar up to a hundred thousand dollars to start with and this is the kind of money we need to build this robot and put it on Yellowstone Lake and make it something that will serve the purpose of protecting the park for future generations
