The display cost $280,000 to put together and measures 8 meters by 2 meters. Rather than just being a number panel, this countdown clock features a 1,280 x 360 resolution video display that is far brighter than the old clock. This display doesn't just show countdown time but includes images and video streams to keep the media and observers in the loop. As for the old clock, it will be reassembled at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex where it will go on display in 2015. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **High-tech Countdown Displays:** Opportunity for companies to create more advanced and versatile countdown displays for events and launches. - **LED Video Displays:** Opportunity to integrate higher resolution LED video displays in various industries for advertising, entertainment or information sharing. - **Improved Event Technology:** Opportunity for improving event technology through advanced displays and video screens. ### Where This Applies - **Space and Aerospace:** Opportunity for advanced displays and video screens in space exploration and aerospace industries. - **Events and Entertainment:** Opportunity for high-tech countdown displays and video screens in various events and entertainment industries. - **Advertising and Retail:** Opportunity for employing higher resolution LED video displays in advertising and retail industries for more effective and immersive content delivery. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Space-Inspired Digital Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gw6900nasa241.md) - [Flowing Light Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crydal-scroll-clock.md) - [Nostalgic Space Exploration Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dsky-moonwatch.md) - [Pixelated Flip-Style Wall Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniot-klapklok.md) - [Tubular Illuminating Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacetime-blade.md) - [Retro Calculator-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-gw6900nasa241.md) - [Space-Age Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/europa-clipper-exploration-watch.md) - [Analog-Style Digital Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klydoclock.md) - [Single-Digit Nixie Tube Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamp-clocks.md)
