#2I used to make these with a Photoshop plugin called Flexify and high-res imagery available from NASA. I'm surprised that it's still around, and not particularly expensive: http://www.flamingpear.com/flexify-2.html

I wrote Flexify. It’s got tons of weird paper-model possibilities like sphericons and curved-fold origami. The whole list is here: http://www.flamingpear.com/flexify-output-modes.html

It's great! I e-mailed you asking about a standalone version. All of your plug-ins are pretty cool. As a kid it was fun to play with them, especially LunarCell and Glitterato, and get results that far exceeded my own artistic abilities. You were really ahead of the curve on procedural generation.
You also once sent me the source code for Despair when I asked about updating it for then-modern systems, but I had no idea anything about C back then.

not the same but FYI, there is a large globe display at the Museam of the Future in Tokyo. They have contents each year for interesting things to display on them. Unfortunately they only take video, nothing interactive. But still

It's not eInk but a spherical screen already exists:
