An interactive globe device may include a base, a spherical globe rotatable around an axle mounted to the base, and a stylus for selecting locations on the spherical globe. The base may include an integrated display, and control buttons for switching the operating mode of the interactive globe device. The spherical globe may have dot patterns printed on its surface, and the stylus may include an optical sensor configured to detect the dot patterns on the spherical globe as locations being selected by the user. The interactive globe device may also include a processor to dynamically adjust mapping of the dot patterns into different regions based on the operating mode of the interactive globe device, determine which of the regions for the operating mode corresponds to a dot pattern detected by the stylus, and render interactive content on the integrated display based on the determined region.
