ORA’s story
“ I had a life-changing moment during a work trip where I spent hours in an Air France lounge, gazing at a world map with half of it plunged in darkness and half illuminated. This sparked the idea for ORA – a live map represented on a globe. After trials and research, the solution of a projector and “fisheye” lens was found. With the advancements in projector technology, we were able to create a stunning image of a rotating, half-lit earth. Our device is not limited to earth representation, it’s suitable for a variety of uses – from museums to corporate spaces. That’s the start of the ORA journey. “
