The necessity to have a device that can wake you up is obvious, yet at present nobody wants to possess a simple traditional alarm clock. At least people want it to be original and perform more than a single function. That's probably the reason why Oregon Company's new gadget is so multifunctional and unusual. The given concept was named Scientific Time Light Projection Clock. In addition to its main function, it adds a twist of colour to weather forecasting. Thus, on a sunny day the corresponding icon glows in bright red. On a rainy day, the icon is a gloomy purple. Moreover this device has a wireless sensor that indicates both the inside and outside temperatures once you place it outdoors. The crescendo alarm wakes you up gradually, and projects its data onto your ceiling, automatically illuminating when the lights go out. As far as the main features of the gadget are concerned they are the followings:
- forecasts the weather 12 to 24 hours in advance using colour-changing graphical icons: sunny – red/orange, partly cloudy – pink, cloudy – turquoise, rainy – purple, snowy - green
- displays and stores daily high/low memory for indoor and outdoor temperature measurements
- indoor temperature range: 23°F to 122°F (–5°C to 50°C)
- outdoor temperature range: -22°F to 140°F (–30°C to 60°C)
- projection feature displays Atomic time, outdoor temperature and alarm status
- touch key technology
- projection automatically turns on depending on room brightness
- 180° projection rotation
- automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time
- features crescendo alarm with 8-minute snooze
- features 12/24-hour format clock with calendar in 5 languages - English, French, German, Italian or Spanish
- LED backlight for easy viewing in lowlight conditions
- included sensor wirelessly transmits weather data from up to 100 feet (30 meters) away
- batteries included: three AAA (main unit) and one AA (sensor)
- dimensions : 4.78L × 4.57H × 2.29D inches
As a result I would say that this device seems to be very useful one. In my view it represents a great combination of functionality and price.
