Shifu - Orboot Globe

Set out on an expedition around the world with this AR smart globe and interactive companion app!

The Shifu Orboot Globe is a unique augmented reality education aid that transforms your smart device into a magical gateway for kids!

To use Orboot, simply scan your globe with your smartphone or tablet using the free Orboot App and enjoy your journey around the world!

There are no borders or country names on your unique globe, just beautiful icons that help you identify different regions.

For example, you will see that Japan is depicted by sushi, a volcano and a sumo wrestler, whilst all other map data is detailed via the app!

It's super simple to set up (it takes around 15 minutes), as you secure the globe on it's stand and begin downloading the app. Syncing the information with your globe will take some time, so make sure you have a good internet connection for this!

Once you're done, it's time to begin your journey. Learn about countries and cultures from around the world at the tap of your finger!

Scan one of the many stars scattered across your globe with the app to unlock factoids about each area in one of 6 key categories:
