Chronographic was dedicated in Detroit this morning, to celebrate the city's 305th birthday. Chronographic is a public time keeping machine (read: clock) designed and fabricated by o2 Creative Solutions. Located in the front window of the historic Himelhoch Building, the hands of Detroit's newest pedestrian-scale landmark are tubes of light which track across two large photo-murals on custom designed robotic carts.
Nerds only: The lateral tracking mechanism was created with custom circuit boards and Vex robot components, and (quite ingeniously) uses an optic sensor hooked up to a simple wall clock to regulate accuracy.
