- Operation and Interaction
- Dominus expresses time in an original way. Like dots on dominoe pieces three groups of dots represent: hours, tens of minutes and minutes. The flashing line reflects the flow of seconds. The time of day can be read from the color of the dots: green for AM; yellow for PM. This new abstract drawing of the Face of Time makes devices and interiors where it appears more attractive and mysterious and the image of Time looks well both vertically and horizontally. The application contains a timer, an alarm clock and chimes. Setting both the alarm clock and the timer is easily done by merely highlighting the desired number of dots and tapping the triangle button.
