The interactive World Ocean

Ocean for All!

The Interactive World Ocean

The interactive World Ocean is a touchscreen-based ocean map for use in schools, educational institutions and exhibitions. The map invites you to discover the diversity of coasts, seas and oceans, to immerse yourself in different regions of the world and to understand connections. The interactive ocean map will be available free of charge from November 2024. It is suitable for tablets and smartboards as well as large-format touch tables.

Users can navigate easily and intuitively by touch. Immersion points open up a view of the underwater world – from river and coastal systems to the open ocean and the deep sea, from the tropics to the polar regions. The world ocean is explored using research videos, image galleries, satellite images and data visualizations. The project is being realized by the German Marine Research Alliance (DAM) in cooperation with the German Aerospace Center (DLR).
