Pong Watch

at 4:16 am. Filed under Complex Hacks, Cool Gadgets, Electronic Hacks, Game Hacks, Insane Equipment

John Maushammer has created one of the coolest watches I have ever seen. Reminds me of the Laptop Pong Clock but much smaller and tougher to build. Have a look at the pong watch build log for some interesting construction details. Code will be available on the Plans page when it’s finalized.

Video after the jump.

“The basic idea – from Buro Vormkrijgers – is genius: each minute the right side scores a point, and each hour the left side scores a point. The effect is that the score is the time. I succeeded in compressing all the electronics for this watch in to a 10mm-thick case. The 96×64 OLED display runs continuously – unlike older LED watches, there is no need to press a button to see the time. Battery life is 25 hours, so recharging is done every night.”

    that thing would EAT batterys. it needs maybe a dim feature where you press a button on the face of the watch to light it up

    i would kill for one of those. ill pay 500 dollars for it :D

    It does eat batteries, the creator says it needs nightly charging. I think that isn’t a bad compromise for the geekiest watch on the planet. :)

    All’s I can say is, the right side of the game is REALLY good at pong to have a 60-1 point ratio :-)

    I would do anything for one of those. ps, if anyone knows a good tutorial for making a wall-mounted one, it would be greatly appreciated :>

    Mitten – that’s how the older LED watches would work. I liked the convenience of one-handed operation. I’m planning on building a cradle so that you just put the watch in it and it will recharge.

    J_man, you could probably just use the exact same build and adapt it with a larger LCD and power source. I wouldn’t see where that’d be too much of a problem. Not that I know how to do that off-hand, yet. lol. But it’s a thought.

    BTW, this thing is awesome, and I can’t wait to get started on one. You could feasibly apply the principle to any simply two-player games that’s points based. Maybe an old atari style soccer? that’d be kinda cool too, if you get the code right. Might shorten battery time a bit though, but if it still got like twenty hours it wouldn’t be a big deal.
