download the world's biggest cuckoo clock

The cuckoo clock came into being from tinkering in the dark winter months of the Black Forest and became a world-wide product for export. The clock will close the triangle (see Figure 3) between the '1st World's Largest Cuckoo Clock' in Schonach and the 'World's Largest Cuckoo Clock in the Black Forest' at Uhrenpark Eble in Triberg, as well as Schwenningen, the 'World's Largest Clock Town' - all about 20km apart from each other. Thanks to this clock, the duel between Schonach and Triberg will come to an end. If you like to turn the minute hand to lure out the cuckoo, you will get your money's worth here too, just give it a try. These are shown correspondingly to the current time of day. Here, however, the cuckoo consists of video recordings of cuckoo clocks created by people from all over the world. 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.

Open the application, point the camera at the clock, read the time and wait for the cuckoo to come or tap the minute hand with your fingertip and keep turning to lure out the cuckoo at the desired time.

Set your side onto the facade of the Municipal Galerie VS showing the clock or hang the clock (clock face with QR code) onto the wall, either in the form of the sculpture or the multiple (supplement for the newspaper Schwarzwälder Boten).

Download the application from the app store and install it on your mobile device.
