- taeric 2y agoRight? And that isn't hard and can get you accurate images. I get that this was a lot harder in the past. But today, this isn't difficult at all.
- Retric 2y agoNot quite, you have two retina and local light sources. So you get more information from a globe than any 2d projection. However by rotating a perspective projection your brain can better recreate the underlying 3D nature of earth.
