“This clock uses side glow fiber optics to tell the time in a colorful way.
Red/Green/Blue = Hour/Minute/Second.
The light comes frn an LED strip that makes the fiber glow. But it also emits light at the ends and projects it on the wall.
A light sensor senses the ambient light in the room and automatically adjusts the intensity of the LEDs. The light sensor also doubles as a button where you can select which animation you want to use to display the time.
The clock is powered by an Arduino nano and it uses a ds3231 RTC to keep the time.
