Video-Crunching Chronographs

The Last Clock Encapsulates and Displays Time Through Footage

— November 11, 2011 — Tech
It is said that time is relative, and the Last Clock app allows users to perceive that law of physics by having your iPad take video footage of its surroundings and then playing it back to you in varied time-warped intervals.

The Last Clock works much like a standard analog clock, except the hands of the clock are made up of slices of recorded video footage. The recording of the footage takes place at different refresh rates, meaning the images captured by the seconds hand will be vastly different from the minutes hand and the hour hand (if you placed your iPad in an interesting location of course). The Last Clock app thus acts as a kind of visual memory, allowing users to see what it's like to perceive time at in 60 seconds, 60 minutes, and 12 hours chunks.
Trend Themes
1. Time-warped Intervals - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop products or services that utilize time-warped intervals to enhance user perception and experience.
2. Visual Memory - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create technologies that capture and display visual memories to provide users with a unique way of perceiving time.
3. Analog Clock Evolution - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate analog clocks by incorporating video footage to redefine how time is represented and experienced.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate time-warping technologies into consumer electronics to revolutionize how users interact with their devices.
2. Digital Media - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create platforms or apps that enable users to record, store, and visualize their memories through multimedia formats.
3. Interior Design - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate time-based artistic elements into interior design to create visually captivating and dynamic spaces.
