Hi! to All,
I've just started to read the latest copy of New Scientist
and on the new patents page appears the following :-
A wristwatch sundial EP 1026558.
A patent has been taken out by Richard Keatch of Aberdeen . At it's heart
is a light tight box that has anetwork of tunnels running from one wall to
another.The tunnels are angeled at 15 degrees to each other and terminate in
holographic panels which display a time digit when illuminated.At any given
time of day ,light passes down one tunnel, depending on the position of the
Sun.When the user uses the wristwatch's built -in compass to point south
,the displayed digits tell the time.
there is also a cartoon.
May be there is something new under the sun,!!!
