If you spend your life sentence dwell under a rock you might have miss one of the recent compulsion amongst the young’ns : sequin - encompass pillow , lush toys , and even clothing that interchange color when you fray your hand across them . It ’s a completely purposeless experience , but also an improbably satisfying one that ’s actually inspired a ingenious hacker tomake a clockthattells the time in sequins .

understand why the Sequino was created is an human activity of futility . It ’s about impossible to find a gadget in existence that ca n’t display or tell you the time in some capacity , so make a clock that takes approximately four minute to save out the current time on a sequin - cover cylinder is a totally purposeless endeavour . You ’re already four minutes late if you wait around to actually check the time using the Sequino .

That being said , even sitting here at my desk watching the Sequino in legal action through YouTube I have to force myself to not turn over out and touch my screenland in an attack to chafe my hand across the clock ’s sequined open . It ’s officially my Modern fidget toy obsession , even though I ca n’t in reality buy it , do n’t have the acquirement needed to build my own , and any endeavor to interact with the clock ’s sequin surface would interpose with its sole job of writing out the clock time from four hour ago .

If you ’d care to try and build up one for yourself , “ ekaggrat ” has portion out a fairly in - depth behind the view look at how they designed and built theSequino over on Hackster.io . You ’ll involve the common tool like a soldering branding iron , 3D printer , Arduino , and various other electronic bits that wo n’t break the bank , plus some sequin - spread over material that can likely be salvage by sacrificing a sequin pillow . If you follow , just realize it will credibly have in mind the end of any body of work productivity through the mean solar day as you learn ( and touch ) the transactions as they dislocate aside .
