TicTocTrac

This does not require a funny quip. These Cornell students used a MakerBot to make the casing for their wrist watch.

But this isn’t an ordinary watch.

TicTocTrac is a wristwatch that doesn’t just keep time, but measures your perception of it, allowing you to track changes over the course of days or even months.

You’ll have to read their fantastic documentation to understand how exactly the watch captures your perception of time, rather than the progression of time. But I can tell you that they used our friend Jeremy Blum‘s MakerBot to print the case for their project.

Love it!

Sorry for the late notice on this one, but if you’re anywhere near Ithaca, NY tomorrow, Saturday the 14th, stop by the collaborative entrepreneurship space just founded called PopShop. I particularly like their domain name: http://popright.in/.

Tomorrow afternoon, our friend and associate Jeremy Blum will be giving a seminar on digital fabrication, including, of course, 3D printing. It’s an intro to the concepts of 3D printing, and there will be a MakerBot Thing-O-Matic and Replicator on hand to look at. Jeremy really knows what he’s talking about, so it should be a great talk!

While PopShop is really geared toward students, the talk tomorrow is open to the public.
