ARC科学模拟公司由托马斯·立根先生于1981年创建，前身是“应用研究和顾问”公司，坐落在美国科罗拉多美丽的拉佛兰市。1989年，该公司转型进入科研软件领域，发行了名为“舞动的星球”软件（被客户称为“舞动”）。该软件发行大获成功后，进行了几次升级，此后，公司决定购买从太空到地球视觉化产品，并于1995年研发出了“地球之面”™无云地球图像软件。该产品带动了其它博物馆和展览会项目，并推动了第一款独立球体数字显示产品——OmniGlobe®的诞生。 

ARC科学模拟公司始终秉承对审美质量和高新技术的追求。公司的图像和视觉化创新产品能够以最大程度强化了图像的信息性、趣味性和无穷魅力。其他使用ARC源产品进行创新的用户也同样可以分享这些优势。

 

ARC Science Simulations was incorporated in 1981 as Applied Research & Consulting by Thomas Ligon and is located in beautiful Loveland, Colorado. In 1989 the business was redirected towards science software with the release of Dance of the Planets® (affectionately known by thousands as Dance). After many good Dance years with regular updates, a decision was made to pursue Earth-from-space visualization products which lead to the creation of the Face of the Earth™ cloudless earth image released in 1995. This lead to museum and other exhibit projects, and most recently the invention and development of the OmniGlobe®, the first self-contained spherical digital display.

 

The hallmark of ARC Science Simulations has been and remains a tight adherence to high aesthetic quality and good science. To the extent possible, our imagery and visualization creations present a picture that is well informed, interesting, and attractive. These qualities are available to others creating their own derivatives using ARC source products.
