How much do we know about the impressive planet we all live in? Now, you can take an epic trip around the globe through space and time with our EARTH model and corresponding app.
EARTH is the first-ever augmented reality-enabled globe that lets you see our planet’s changes across history. Just open the app and point your phone’s camera at the model for a deeply immersive learning experience.
EARTH is brought to life with an AR and AI-driven app
to help you learn about
our incredible past, present, and future.

A trip around the globe
How much do we know about the impressive planet we all live in? Now, you can take an epic trip around the globe through space and time with our EARTH model and corresponding app.
EARTH is the first-ever augmented reality-enabled globe that lets you see our planet’s changes across history.
Just open the app and point your phone’s camera at the model for a deeply immersive learning experience.
The app displays information on several in-depth categories:
Ever wondered how many gallons of water are in the ocean?
With EARTH you can track geology, to study the formation and evolution of our physical planet.
Curious about what animals inhabited your country 1,000 years ago?
With EARTH you can track the migration and habitats of animals past and present.
And much more!
EARTH's technology takes you through time to explore our planet’s rich geographic history,
along with the current state of our world due to climate change, natural disasters, and more.
The deeply-layered, interactive experience covers basic geographic information such as landmarks, latitude and longitude, time zones, and regions.
The app also displays complex visualization across various topics such as heat maps, cloud atlases, point maps, texture maps, and more.
Control EARTH with your voice
While you explore the globe with your hands, use our smart voice technology—named GAEA, powered by Microsoft LUIS - to direct the app and discover a wealth of information about the earth.
Here are a couple questions you can ask Gaea across the various categories. Just say "Hey GAEA!"
and ask away...
Gaea is here to help with your journey across time and space.
Gaea displays the information you want, right before your eyes.
Or, get Gaea to navigate you around the app!
Hey Gaea, show me the areas of temperate grassland around the globe.
Hey Gaea, let's leave the animal section and see the Earth's structure.
World Class Knowledge of earth led by Dr. J.R. Skok
Beyond the physical globe of EARTH, the AstroReality App contains a wealth of scientific knowledge selected to show our planet as a dynamic and interconnected system. This knowledge was developed by researchers from around the world and made public for us to share with you. AstroReality’s developers are working with our science advisor, J.R. Skok, PhD, a planetary scientist at the SETI Institute, to put the stories of EARTH into your hands.
Here is Dr. Skok sharing a taste of just one of the many datasets that we can explore with EARTH.
Who is EARTH for?
We made the EARTH experience incredibly easy to use for everyone—from schools who want to adopt the latest technology for their students, everyday knowledge-seekers, to model collectors, and enthusiasts.

The model is incredibly detailed.
EARTH looks great anywhere.
EARTH in the real world
We invited illustrators, journalists, and friends to meet, draw, and learn about some of the fascinating creatures we share our planet with.
Attendees of the event had the chance to try our EARTH and learn all the migration and habitats of animals past and present.
"EARTH is unlike any other model—an encyclopedia for the modern world!"
- Jenny Webber, Founder of Wild Life Drawing
"Seeing the cloud overlay using AR is beautiful and enriching."
- Annabel Maguire, Studio Lune
"It's really incredible—the details of the continents, oceans, mountains, and more are all amazing."
- Illustrator Alec Doherty
How EARTH is made
We use poly resin density, 3D printing, and paint pigment ratios to create EARTH. Then, we refine our models to ensure the surface details—ocean, land, mountains—are clearly visible
EARTH is made with an eco-friendly paint and production process. 3D printing is extremely precise, and levels down to 0.05 millimeters—printing error has a precision of 0.025 millimeters, printing resolution reaches 4000 DPI, and up to 0.006 millimeter per pixel. We then finish with a hand painted layer on every single unit.
EARTH follows LUNAR’s AR experience, but this time with many new features and rich visualization from authentic datasets. Below is lunar and planetary scientist Georgiana Kramer explaining her experience with LUNAR.
Our first project, LUNAR, and the AR app.

EARTH will use the same tech as LUNAR, but with countless more features.

Why we built EARTH
We’re passionate about our planet—it’s the only home we have. Unfortunately, Earth is going through irreversible changes that are forever changing the surface of everything we know—from global warming and glacial recession, to the extinction of its animals and wildlife.
We hope that educating everyone about the effects we have on our planet from fossil fuels, pollution, and more will ignite a conscious change and passion for bettering the world as we know it.
A highly accurate representation of our planet.
