Interactive Map Shows You the Exact Opposite End of the Globe From You
The Antipodes Map shows you where you'd wind up if you dug straight down
This is one of my dogs, Betsy, right before she starts furiously digging. She does it every time I take her to the beach and I joke that she's trying to get back to Japan, where her breed, the Shiba Inu, originates from. But assuming Betsy tunneled straight down from

Firm Project: Getting Physical with Augmented Reality
SLIMDESIGN is looking to collaborate with augmented reality developers to bring these tools to life
Tools were essential to the development of humans. Augmented reality is no exception to this.
