And if you need an alarm, Pingo has got you covered with a blinking red light that goes off for one minute at your desired time. If you prefer a more traditional clock, you can still use Pingo - it offers a clear indication of the hands of the clock as well. By default, the brightness reduces to 30% after sunset and goes back to 100% at sunrise. The default setting is, as mentioned, to let the outer ring (with the most LEDs) slowly change its hue to set the mood of time. For example, you could rotate it once a minute, or you could rotate it in such a way that the outer ring keeps your favorite color. You could, in fact, animate the orientation of the rainbow any way you like. Note that it doesn’t matter how the rainbow is rotated as long as you change the colors of the rings to represent the time. Similarly, the outer yellow ring matches the rainbow at ten minutes past the hour, so the time is 10:10. In this picture, the magenta inner disk matches the rainbow color at the ten o'clock position. Wherever the color of the inner disk matches the color of the rainbow, that is the location of the hour hand. It uses three rings of LEDs: the outer ring shows a solid color for the minute hand, the second ring shows a rainbow of colors, and the inner disk shows a solid color for the hour hand. A casual user just sees Pingo as some mesmerizing device with colors, but you know the trick to tell the time from it. You could tell time by the changing colors, but actually, you don't. The changing colors add a touch of magic to your surroundings and help set the mood for each part of the day. At sunrise or sunset, the color shifts to a comforting red, while at night it transforms into a peaceful and relaxing shade of purple. This color is known to be warm and friendly, making it a great choice for daylight hours. Plus, the colors it displays can actually influence your mood and emotions throughout the day, making it a unique addition to your space.ĭuring the day, Pingo's outer ring is a bright and inviting yellow, just like the sun. It's a completely innovative and one-of-a-kind way to tell time. Pingo is a clock that's all about adding some fun and color to your day! Its name means "I paint" in Latin, and that's exactly what it does - it paints the color of time.
