Going Back to Sundials
The Umbra is an ultra cool clock concept that works on the principles of the sundial. Two strips of concealed LEDs create the illusion of the hour and minute hands. Although a bit bulky, I love the fact that you can tape the clock vertical or horizontal, thanks to the gecko tape in the rear.

wonderful and simple concept, clean and emotional shape that recalls the feeling of being in an astral travel
… plausible design!
Jonathan says
I would definitely buy this, priced anywhere up to $50. Any more, and I might consider it up to a certain point.

would the light/shadow still be clear in a lit room?
BenK says
You realize that most of the time, the light from the each LED will wash over the others shadow, meaning you will almost never be able to see the time.

This problem can be somewhat decreased if the bottom of the clock is made grooved.
Vit says
Also the directional pattern of each LED can be such that it mostly covers the region BEHIND the projection, so not washing over the shadow from another LED.

Uninspired ripoff. I remember making these as a little kid, it’s called a Bulbdial clock and there are already hundreds of these on the market (and the LEDs do wash each other out).
CX says
How about viewing angle?
Hunter says
Can only be used outside.
To be used inside, the clock would have to somehow “know” the direction of light sources.
inexpensive astral projection robert bruce says
The steps taken to achieve the result are completely irrelevant.
It simply means that you have within you dragon traits, or fae traits, or angel traits but not the true nature, energy, or
soul of these beings. I would like to thank the Obama administration for calling my
number.
