# Snowglobe-Inspired Dynamic Clocks The Interactive Time to Snow Timepiece has a Snow-Like Design By Amy Duong | Published 2023-10-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-to-snow References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2023/10/11/this-interactive-snowglobe-clock-turns-time-into-a-snowy-spectacle-for-all-to-admire/)  Baek Sunwoo, Kim Myeongseong, and Prof. Lee Woohun designed the Time to Snow timepiece, which is a clock that is detailed with [snow-like grains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowie) made from styrofoam to represent the look of snow. The small grains are held within a [rectangular structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line) that is altered constantly to create a small blizzard inside of the clock. From here, static electricity is relied on to defy gravity and display the time of day. At the top of the clock is a camera module that allows viewers to [interact with gestures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilt-smart-clock) and their presence. When there are no individuals near the clock, it is able to generate a small snowstorm to attract people and it will diminish as they approach the clock.
