The people-tracking clock

houseclok.jpg Microsoft researchers have put a new twist on telling time, creating a digital wall clock with hands for each member of the family, reports
The Seattle Times via near near future.

"Instead of numbers, the hands point to places — work, school, home — and can track a person's location to show where he or she is at any time.

The people-tracking clock is an idea out of Microsoft's research laboratories in Cambridge, England. Technology in cellphones these days can easily track a person's location, and that information could be sent to the clock to be seen by those at home".
