My interests in timekeeping, art, and astronomy collided with an attack of metathesis to create an homage to Salvador Dalí.
A melting pocket watch has been combined with Salvador Dalís right mustache to produce a new surreal timekeeping device: a SunDalí. The SunDalí is here a virtual sundial, which you can view on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
The SunDalí inhabits a surreal 3D soundscape of moving natural and manmade sounds, accompanied by a Spanish folk tune.
Use it to check the time day or night. At night the mustache casts a glow.
You control the movement of the 3D watch, and control the soundscape. Use headphones for best 3D sound effect.
On devices which have them, it can use the accelerometer and compass to control the orientation of the SunDalí, keeping it vertical and pointing south. It can use the location to indicate the true solar time, as would be shown by a physical sundial at your longitude.
Options:
▪Control 7 sound effect sources
▪Control the music
▪Control the orientation of the SunDalí
▪Display the current time, current local solar time, or set the time yourself
▪Make time pass quickly as an animated journey through the day
