Weltgrößte Kuckucksuhr

About this app

This app application is part of the art project World's Largest Cuckoo Clock (Digital), which was implemented by the Villingen-Schwenningen Municipal Gallery as part of the "Digital is better" exhibition. The app provides access to the largest digital cuckoo clock in the world, a sculpture by the artist Olsen. To use this app, you need the physical counterpart, which consists of a blank watch face with a QR code. With the app, either one of the real cuckoo clocks can be viewed or a picture of the clock from the supplement of the daily newspaper Schwarzwälder Bote, on which the QR code can be seen.

As soon as the augmented reality app has started, you can automatically read the current time on the cuckoo clock by pointing the camera of your device towards the dial with the QR code. In addition, a cuckoo comes out every half and full hour, just like your old analogue cuckoo clock. Here, however, the cuckoo consists of video recordings of cuckoos that people from all over the world have made of their clocks, currently at the corresponding time of day. Those who like to turn the minute hand to lure the cuckoo out will get their money's worth here too, just give it a try.


Manual:

1. Download the application from the app store and install it on your mobile device.
2. Aim at the clock (clock face with QR code) on the facade of the Städtische Galerie VS or hang it on the wall as a sculpture or in the form of a multiple (supplement in the daily newspaper Schwarzwälder Bote).
3. Open the application, point the camera at the clock, read the time and wait until the cuckoo comes or tap the minute hand with your fingertip and turn it further to lure the cuckoo out at the desired time.
