In addition, a cuckoo comes out every half and full hour just like on your old analogue cuckoo clock. The app can be used to view either one of the real cuckoo clocks or an image of the clock from the supplement of the newspaper Schwarzwälder Bote, which shows the QR code.Īs soon as the augmented reality app is started, you can automatically read the current time on the cuckoo clock by holding the camera of your device in the direction of the clock face with the QR code. To use this app, you need the physical counterpart, which consists of a blank clock face with a QR code (see figure 1). The app allows access to the world's largest digital cuckoo clock, a sculpture by the artist Olsen. This application is part of the art project World's Largest Cuckoo Clock (Digital), which was realised as part of the exhibition "Digital is Better" by the Municipal Gallery Villingen-Schwenningen.
