This projection looks fantastic. It would b great if people actually started using this in schools and what not. With the advent of tablets and the general digitsation that's been going around, you can have "rotable" Dymaxion maps -- maps that could be rotated and oriented in such a manner as to look like what we're used to -- but when zooomed out, the Dymaxion/Fuller projection gives students/people an accurate picture of what the earth truly looks like.
If only they made real life rotating, oriented maps. They'd need a new name, perhaps something emphasizing their roundness...balls? No, the kids would make fun of that. Spheres? Too generic.
Good point. I think real life globes would take up too much space though. On the other hand, Google Earth looks like it does a good job depicting everything in proportion.
