We’re a small company (LUMIQ) that specializes in illuminated artistic displays, and we’re working on a large circular wall display for presenting Tempest data in a beautiful way. Have a look at the photos attached. These are 1/4" thick and combine a graphic printed on glass with a WiFi connected LED panel. The graphic can be anything you want (the wood grain is just an example), and the specific data shown can also be tailored. We’re planning to release a few different sizes and shapes as well.
We’re just looking to get some general feedback, feature requests, or any constructive criticism. Thanks in advance!
We bring in some data from free public sources like aviationweather.gov. Ideally, we want to allow people to configure the various dials and scales to be whatever data source they want, like from their tempest or any other API.
Just this morning before my bicycle ride I really would have liked to see a Tempest display rather then having to wake up my computer or grab the phone. I thought the data displayed was pretty clear in meaning.
Looks like Braille. A glance and it doesn’t grab my attention…Needs animated weather icons at least. led’s are more like KITT from Nightrider and meaningless to a degree.
The criticism you did ask, coming from s’one who has old Android phones/Tablets always-on displaying the app makes this a paperweight/ or should I say dinnerplate ::
I guess they settled on a rectangular shape as shown in my Tempest wall, well, refrigerator magnet!
I got it a few weeks ago and while it was standing on the counter using its included bamboo stand, it was cluttering up my work space.
The other day I got inspiration (some may question that!) and decided to hang on my fridge door. Got a magnetic hook yesterday and hence, the results. I will consider its placement for a bit but it can obviously be moved. The wire is certainly long enough to allow placement high on a wall using the hanger on its rear.
I used its setup routine to dim the light, I think, to about 70 percent. Others may prefer it brighter.
I will note that the round dots representing 5 and 50 in the temperature reading makes it easy to decipher the temperature from a distance.
