The other encoder is on the left side of the globe, and reads whatever latitude is focused in the reticle. One encoder is stuck into the South Pole, and it reads the lines of longitude as the user spins the globe. It works by using two absolute rotary encoders that each have a whopping 1024 positions available. RadioGlobe lets the user tune in over 2000 stations from around the world by spinning a real globe. We long for a more physical and satisfying interface for tuning in stations from around the globe, and has made just the thing. The problem is that none of the available interfaces really give the enormity of the thing the justice it deserves. There’s no denying that the reach and variety of internet radio is super cool.
