ARC科學(xué)模擬公司由托馬斯·立根先生于1981年創(chuàng)建,，前身是“應(yīng)用研究和顧問”公司，坐落在美國(guó)科羅拉多美麗的拉佛蘭市,。1989年,，該公司轉(zhuǎn)型進(jìn)入科研軟件領(lǐng)域，發(fā)行了名為“舞動(dòng)的星球”軟件（被客戶稱為“舞動(dòng)”）,。該軟件發(fā)行大獲成功后,，進(jìn)行了幾次升級(jí)，此后,，公司決定購(gòu)買從太空到地球視覺化產(chǎn)品,，并于1995年研發(fā)出了“地球之面”?無(wú)云地球圖像軟件。該產(chǎn)品帶動(dòng)了其它博物館和展覽會(huì)項(xiàng)目,，并推動(dòng)了第一款獨(dú)立球體數(shù)字顯示產(chǎn)品——OmniGlobe?的誕生,。?

ARC科學(xué)模擬公司始終秉承對(duì)審美質(zhì)量和高新技術(shù)的追求。公司的圖像和視覺化創(chuàng)新產(chǎn)品能夠以最大程度強(qiáng)化了圖像的信息性,、趣味性和無(wú)窮魅力,。其他使用ARC源產(chǎn)品進(jìn)行創(chuàng)新的用戶也同樣可以分享這些優(yōu)勢(shì)。

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.?
