Your current clock simply tells you the time, but the Ambient Clock expresses your whole schedule through its unique visual language. Rather than reading just numbers, the Ambient Clock displays something more akin to a visual diagram of your schedule. The clock is synched with your Google Calendar and receives updates via Ambient’s nationwide wireless network.

When you have an event scheduled the clock will show filled in blocks for the corresponding time slots. If the event is taking place 5 miles away, according to Google maps, then the clock will show 5 dots just before the time slot blocks. The backlight changes color depending on the status of your schedule. Blue is for times when you have no events scheduled, yellow is for alerting you that you have 10 minutes until your next event, and orange shows that you should be in the middle of an event.

This is a great concept that allows you to quickly and easily grasp your entire schedule for the day at one glance. The wireless connection also means that there are no cables to deal with, making it very convenient and portable. Test it out for yourself at their site.
