Good morning everyone,
Members of the list may be interested in a new piece of software displayed
on Australian TV last night. Shown on the "New Inventors" program on the
government TV channel (ABC). Basically it predicts sun altitude and azimuth for
any location and date. The bloke that developed it is a film cameraman, and
needed to know sun angles to set up cameras for optimal effects. Apparently
architects can also use it to predict shadow angles from new or proposed
buildings, etc.
Website of the "invention" is http://www.sunpredictor.com/
From what I can see, it does little more than existing software available
FREE at the moment, and worse, it is selling for $US295.
Thinking about the price, and recalling the discussion recently about going
into business making and selling dials, I wonder if Wheeler knows that the
competition is essentially free!
Cheers, John |
